LOCH FYNE RESTAURANT

NEW LOCH FYNE SEAFOOD RESTAURANT IS HOOKED ON ADVANCED

The latest in the hugely successful Loch Fyne restaurants chain opened this month in Didsbury, Manchester. The restaurant's diners can choose from a mouth-watering selection of fresh seafood and shellfish, but will be unaware that the hygiene standards of the food preparation areas are as outstanding as the quality of the food. The main contractor specified that the walls of the new restaurant's kitchens were completely covered in Advanced Hygienic Cladding's maintenance-free 2.5mm thick rigid PVC panel system. The cladding system includes fully sealed gasket trims and features thermofold corners created on-site to ensure a precise fit into door and window apertures, plus a fully bonded application method - all of which ensures there is simply nowhere for dirt to collect. Speaking from the gleaming new kitchens Jo Harbord, of Loch Fyne Restaurants said: 'Today's paying customers have extremely high expectations when visiting restaurants. Our menu features only the best produce, farmed and fished to the highest quality and environmental standards which, when combined with the impeccable food preparation cleanliness that Advanced’s cladding system has created, virtually guarantees customer satisfaction'. The new restaurant is already proving to be very popular, with all 140 covers frequently fully booked, so it's reassuring for Loch Fyne to know that Advanced Hygienic Cladding Systems installation is covered by a 20 year warranty – with no catch...

Advanced's clients include some of the largest hotel and restaurant chains in the country, plus public houses, food manufacturers, hospitals, prisons, schools, universities and hundreds of butchers, bakers, supermarkets and high street food retailers.

New 'All Over' adhesive

CLAD ALL OVER.............. Thanks to new adhesive from specialist supplier and installer of hygienic walls and ceilings to the catering, food manufacturing and preparation markets, Harrogate-based Advanced Hygienic Cladding, has developed a new adhesive to speed cladding installations which utilise their standard 2.5mm sheets. The new adhesive is simply spread all over the back of the cladding panel to ensure complete coverage (subject to suitable substrate), enabling smooth, hygienic and exceptionally durable walls to be created in record time. The cladding system also features a wipe-clean surface, fully sealed gasket trim system and thermofold corners – combined with the new, fully bonded application method - dirt simply has nowhere to hide. Advanced's 20 year cladding system warranty also ensures that the kitchen’s clean good looks will provide a long term benefit. The new adhesive has already proved itself in the field, having been utilised extensively on recent projects including the cladding of the cafe and restaurant kitchen at the new £10 million Dobbies Garden World, Southport, plus a further three kitchens in the renowned Midland Hotel in Morecambe. Speaking of the adhesive, Lindsay McKenzie, Advanced’s Managing Director said: “Having identified a need for a simple, clean and high speed method of attaching cladding sheets direct to the substrate in many installations we are delighted with the results of our development project, which has been extremely well received by our contractors throughout the UK.”

Gateshead College

ADVANCED GETS TOP MARKS AT GATESHEAD COLLEGE

Advanced Hygienic Cladding's maintenance-free rigid PVC wall cladding system has been installed throughout the large new kitchen area of Gateshead College at the Baltic Business Centre. The highest quality standards are an absolute must in any food preparation environment and main contractors Shepherd Construction selected Advanced cladding system to achieve and maintain impeccable levels of kitchen cleanliness. These levels are achieved by a combination of a wipe-clean, durable surface, fully sealed gasket trim system, thermofold corners and fully bonded application method – so dirt simply has nowhere to hide. Advanced’s 20 year cladding system warranty also ensures that the kitchen’s clean good looks will be a long lasting benefit. Shepherd is delighted with the finish of the new kitchen and their Project Manager Nigel Moore commented: “Our decision to specify Advanced wall cladding system will prove its worth each time the kitchen is in operation. The students may never be aware of the care we’ve taken to ensure their food preparation environment meets or exceeds the most stringent standards of hygiene - but hopefully the nutritional quality of the meals on offer will never be compromised by problems arising from sub-standard levels of cleanliness.”

Colston's Yard Bristol

BRISTOL'S HOT SPOT

Advanced Hygienic Cladding's maintenance-free rigid PVC wall cladding and suspended ceiling system has been extensively installed throughout the kitchen, food lifts and food preparation, wash up & storage areas in the new Colston Yard pub, bar & grill in Bristol. Advanced’s 20 year cladding system warranty, fully sealed gasket trim system, thermofold corners and fully bonded application method sets the highest hygiene standards for food preparation areas and was first choice for interior fit-out specialists, Craftworks. Howard Frank, Craftworks’ proprietor, has specified Advanced’s products for numerous similar projects and said: “Cleanliness has to be the number one priority where food preparation is concerned. I always encourage my clients to opt for Advanced’s cladding system for wall areas as it is the most practical finish available, rather than traditional alternatives like ceramic tiles which can harbour all manner of unwanted problems. The installation offered by a panel-based system is far quicker and easier, maintenance is simple and the finished effect is, in my opinion, the best available” Colston Yard is rapidly becoming one of Bristol’s new hot spots for great beers, wine and food. Formerly the site of the Brewery Tap pub and Smiles Brewery, the majority of the building was derelict prior to purchase by Butcombe Brewery in summer last year. Transforming the building into the Colston Yard called for major yet sensitive redevelopment work, involving huge amounts of concrete reinforcement and underpinning, with the basement housing the kitchens being virtually a cave.
