Gary, our international MD of mystery, recently met with Tramshed and Adisa Cooking in sunny Barcelona. The trio knocked their heads together to organise fitting two Synergy Grills into a sparkly new kitchen suite for Tramshed, Shoreditch.

A unique and inviting venue

For those that aren’t already in the know, Tramshed is Mark Hix’s chicken-and-steak restaurant within a former East End tram-generator building. It features an installation by Damien Hirst and the menu is designed around chicken and steak to share, alongside seasonal starters and puddings. Above Tramshed sits Mark’s Kitchen Library, an intimate chefs table for 12 guests, surrounded by Mark’s personal cookbook collection – a unique and inviting touch.

Bespoke & thoughtful kitchen design

Adisa, the expert kitchen designer’s philosophy is that to make a good meal, in addition to having quality ingredients to hand it is necessary to have the material you need to be able to prepare any recipe you think of. Consequently, they listen to each of their customers to build the kitchen that best adapts to their needs.

Adisa perfectly fitted Tramshed’s Synergy Grills (models SG900 and SG1300) into a luxury bespoke kitchen suite. Adisa then flew the sparkly new kitchen back to Good ol’ Blighty and installed it in Tramshed’s Shoreditch venue. The restaurant re-opens Friday 23 September following the refurbishment. Yum.

Precision’s fabulous new variable temperature drawer

Main Logo

We like to support our fellow British manufacturers so we’re delighted Precision has launched a new version of its Variable Temperature Drawer, an individually refrigerated stainless steel unit that provides a compact, bulk storage solution, in the heart of a kitchen.

The new version, model VUBC121, is the first Precision individual drawer to launch since the introduction of the Ecodesign and Energy Labelling Directives and MEPS (Minimum Energy Performance Standard).

In independent tests, carried out by RD&T (Refrigeration Developments and Testing), the drawer scored ‘A’ when operating as a fridge and ‘B’ when being used as a freezer (EN16825 Climate Test Class 4).

The draw has a new airflow design and an upgraded refrigeration system that enhance temperature control while delivering excellent energy efficiency.
The thickness of insulation on the top of the drawer has also been increased, helping to reduce running costs even further. The drawer uses eco-friendly hydrocarbon refrigerant, R290, which has a GWP (Global Warming Potential) of just three. It also features Precision’s ‘green’ polyurethane insulation, which has an ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) of zero.

The draw can be switched from fridge to freezer, at the push of a button, ideal for when seasonal or other menu variations mean storage requirements change.
The unit also includes an optional heat resistant worktop so operators can put cooking appliances on top and it also has the ability to stack units.

“This is our best ever variable temperature drawer,” says Precision managing director Nick Williams. He adds: “I believe the new model offers the best flexible, affordable individual drawer storage solution for the modern commercial kitchen.”
