Many years ago as can be seen in countless old movies, the canteens of factories and schools in the U.K. were grim affairs with overcooked food ladled out of giant aluminium pots onto the plates of people waiting to be shocked with yet another plate of indeterminable slops.
In more recent times employers have finally realised that well prepared good quality food at fair prices in pleasant surroundings pays dividends.
Commercial catering equipment in general is not just about having the latest ovens, fridges and preparation areas but it is also about all the other smaller details like quality cutlery, dishes, tables and chairs as well as a dozen other related finishing touches.
Whether it is in schools, factories airport or motorway service stations, the general public have become much more particular about efficiency and cleanliness as much as the quality of the food.
In motorway service stations all equipment in the kitchen area is of very high standards and are in full view of millions of customers throughout the year. Just fifty years ago anyone making a regular journey driving between London and Newcastle would have a choice of a roadside bacon butty wagon or a pub to call into for lunch. There was no other choice apart from these two options. Since those days the option of the pub has disappeared as the realization that drinking alcohol and driving was more likely to cause accidents became better understood.
The roadside bacon and sausage or full English fry up, also known as a ‘Greasy Spoon’ still holds a certain allure to some people and are to be found to this day. Fifty years ago the state of some of these establishments left a lot to be desired and as for commercial catering equipment this was prehistoric. One ‘chef’ with a cigarette hanging from the mouth dropping ash over the food would stand all day with a frying pan full of hot oil and a saucepan of baked beans. A giant kettle would simmer with boiling water ready to top up the big tea-pot full of well stewed tea bags.
Nowadays when traveling the same journey the customer can pull into one of many motorway service stations. Within these buildings are to be found the usual franchised purveyors of fast food all competing with one another and trying to attract the business of every customer walking through the entrance of the service station. The latest equipment in the kitchen is on display and the importance of fast, clean and polite service is all the hurried traveler is looking for.
Kitchen equipment has come a very long way since the days of a simple gas hob and heavy pots. The advancements in the equipment today is driven by the whole recent concept of fast food and the need to serve well prepared, well-cooked food safe for all consumption.
