Synergy Grill’s smart thinking recognised by Caterer awards

Innovation and efficiency have led to Cambridgeshire-based Synergy Grill winning recognition in the prestigious national Caterer Product Excellence Awards.

Synergy Grill has been shortlisted in the Prime Cooking Equipment category.

It follows a highly successful year which has seen the company’s grills develop a reputation for fuel, efficiency, ease of use and great cooking result in Synergy Grills supplying restaurant businesses including Tom’s Kitchen, run by acclaimed chef Tom Aiken, Pennyhill Park, Galvin Restaurants and Flaming Grill pubs.

North East England pub restaurant company Proud Inns say using Synergy Grills will save their company 50 percent on fuel costs.

While Tom Aiken said: “Synergy Grills are the most fuel efficient and robust grills you can get. They are easy to clean and operate, but most importantly will give you the highest amount of heat you will need to cook anything on.”.

The Synergy Grill revolves around a patented gas burner system which works at superior heat co-efficiency. High heat atomises fat so there’s no fat tray for chefs to clean and they don’t need to worry about the disposal of fatty waste.

Justin Cadbury CEO & Chairman of Synergy Grill, said: “We believe our grills hit the mark across important areas including ease of use, waste efficiency, energy efficiency and, crucially create well presented, extra juicy and succulently grilled food. It is fantastic to see this recognised by the Caterer awards.”

Synergy Grill were recent finalists in the Cambridge Independent Science and Technology Awards.

The company has introduced measures to support caterers and help restaurants to scrap their old inefficient grills. Synergy Grills are now available under a leasing arrangement where it is possible to lease a grill of £80 per month and then to save over £200 per month in gas costs. A scrappage scheme is also on offer to encourage early and highly cost-effective replacement of less efficient gas-guzzling or charcoal grills.

The Caterer Product Excellence Awards recognises excellence and innovation in food, drink and equipment products within the hospitality sector. Organisers say: “The equipment accolades will be awarded to suppliers and manufacturers who can demonstrate fresh thinking, advances in energy saving and innovative use f technology and design.”

The awards ceremony 5 December at the In and Out Club, St James’ Square, London, SW1.

Proud Inn chooses Synergy Grill for its NE pub kitchens

A growing North East England pub and hotel group has chosen innovative, energy efficient Synergy Grills for its kitchens.

Proud Inns say the British made chargrills give their chefs an edge in cooking succulent, well-presented food while cutting energy costs by up to 50 percent.

Four SG630 Synergy Grills have been installed in each of the four-restaurant kitchens, run by Proud Inns, in Durham and the surrounding area

“We were looking for quality, innovation, and speed and we wanted to buy British,” said Steve Proud, Business Development Manager at family-run Proud Inns.

“Our kitchens are busy producing a very high standard of pub food and both superior quality and efficiency are important. Synergy Grill gives us a top quality, British made product. The grills are both easy to use and easy to clean, thanks to Synergy Grills innovative atomising technology.

“They are also very efficient and we believe we will achieve a 50% saving on gas usage.
“Even more importantly, the presentation of food produced on our Synergy Grills is superb with chargrill marks on our chicken and steaks. The feedback from our chefs has been brilliant.”

Justin Cadbury CEO and Chairman of Synergy Grill, said: “Proud Inns is a growing business with four fabulous pub restaurants. They told us they were looking for innovation in their kitchens and we are delighted that they recognised the advantages that a Synergy Grill brings

“Our grills help chefs to produce succulent, delicious grilled meat and vegetables and our fat atomising technology means they are easy to clean.

“The patented burner is fuel efficient and produces a very high level of heat. It only needs to be turned on when the grill is in use, further reducing energy costs.”

Proud Inns run four venues, the Kings Head, Lanchester, the Jolly Drovers, Consett, the Bluebell Inn, Stanley and the Falcon, Prudhoe. The company was founded by husband and wife, Brian and Michelle Proud.
