Bank Holiday Beckons – Are you Ready? The August Bank Holiday (26th August) is just around the corner. While the UK is renowned for its unpredictable climate, we Brits are resilient and determined to make the most of our summer, rain or shine.

With the potential for increased foot traffic and higher demands on kitchen equipment, it’s essential to ensure your business is prepared for whatever weather the Bank Holiday brings. Many of us will be spending more time outdoors enjoying BBQs, garden parties, and picnics. For businesses in the hospitality industry, this means increased foot traffic and higher demands on kitchen equipment.

Is Your Kitchen Ready for the Rush?

As the summer winds down, it’s essential to ensure your kitchen is equipped to handle the increased demand. Here’s a look at some essential late summer equipment to consider:

Outdoor Grills: Whether it’s a gas or charcoal grill, having a reliable outdoor cooking option is a must for any business looking to capitalise on the warmer weather. Check out the ACE range of LPG and Electric Griddles.

Pizzas are a popular and crowd-pleasing food. A gas pizza oven can help caterers create delicious and authentic pizzas that will impress their customers. Impress your customers with the Euro Grille LPG pizza oven.

Commercial Ice Machines: Keep drinks and desserts cool with a high-capacity ice machine. To meet the increased demand for refreshing beverages, a reliable ice supply is crucial. Consider the Masterfrost M400, with an output of 40kg per 24 hours, ensuring you have more than enough to keep the drinks flowing. Plus, it’s graded, making it a fantastic deal.

Commercial Refrigerators and Freezers: Ensure you have enough storage space for increased food and beverage inventory. Consider upgrading to energy-efficient models to reduce costs. For instance, the Blizzard BAR20 is a double hinged door bar fridge, 492 bottle capacity and comes with an amazing 3 year parts and labour warranty.

Commercial Dishwashers: With more customers and dishes, a high-performance dishwasher is essential for maintaining kitchen efficiency. Take a look at the newest range of DC’s Economy Passthroughs, featuring a simple and user-friendly design, these passthrough dishwashers feature a choice of 2 and 3-minute cycles with auto-start operation for efficient cleaning.

Food Preparation Equipment: From commercial blenders to food processors, having the right tools can significantly speed up food preparation and increase productivity.
