The Freemasons at Wiswell is an award-winning gastropub, with rooms and a pub, set in the rural setting of the Ribble Valley.
Chef Owner Steven Smith has created a unique and diverse range of menus that perfectly match the style and atmosphere of the pub, from an à la carte, early supper, Sunday lunch and and tasting menu
Mr Smith’s, a unique proposition in the heart of the kitchen, giving guests the chance to dine at a chef’s table or the kitchen bench. They now offer four luxury bedrooms, with en suite bathrooms, luxury toiletries and an incredible breakfast.
To design and deliver ‘Mr Smith’s’. A world class kitchen environment that would allow various revenue opportunities for the business while allowing the existing business to continue to grow and develop in to one of the best pubs in the world.
The decommissioning and re-installation was very technical. Not only taking in to account how we remove £100k worth of purpose built, bespoke equipment to allow the building to be modernised and changed aesthetically but also to increase the current cookline to match the MKN suite.
A programme for refurbishment included the matching up of differing materials, Every refrigeration product used on the new site would be black along side all the bespoke fabrication, each and every panel would be powder coated to achieve the new look. New work tops, hanging details and support would need to be installed.
The bespoke cookers had to be stripped, welds broken and completely re-wired to account for the new equipment on the line. New MCBs installed to cookers and counters which were then re-welded and polished on site.
The works involved
