When Ecochef was called into Daniel Clifford’s double-Michelin starred Midsummer House it was to design and install a new eco kitchen – but one with a big difference.

The task was to convert a five year old Bonnet range, which cost more than £100,000 when it was first commissioned, into an Ecochef all-electric range with inbuilt SMART energy meter.

The overall cost to Midsummer House was approximately £35,000 (less than one third of new cost). The installation took place on a Sunday and Monday with normal service resumed on the Wednesday. Daniel Clifford is extremely happy with the result – he had approached Bonnet initially and been told that it wasn’t possible to do this. In the year since the Eco-chef went in, Daniel reports staggering energy savings of £4,000.

The British made CHR Ecochef suite, including its in-built SMART energy monitor, is designed to keep running costs down and standards high and started proving its worth from day one at Midsummer House.
