Scope of Work

Brown’s Hotel is not only London’s first hotel but also one of its most illustrious. Opening its doors in 1847, the hotel has hosted esteemed guests (from royals to presidents) and is today owned by Rocco Forte. One of fourteen of the British Hotel Group’s highly individual hotels, this 5-star Mayfair establishment provides fine dining, world-class facilities and the highest level of service.

Gratte Brothers Foodservice Solutions was appointed to undertake a full turnkey, design-and-build project which included the installation of a new bakery (including a chocolate room) and butchery area in the basement of this historic location. In addition, we completed an upgrade of the electrical system, new wall cladding, flooring, and grid ceiling with LED lighting.

 

Equipment Spec

The newly installed butchery area will act to meet the demand of hotel restaurant, Charlie’s at Brown’s, by increasing output capacity and providing the chefs with a comfortable working space. It also works to increase efficiency for keeping meat products separate to further reduce risk of cross-contamination. The installations within the butchery area included a sliding door for space-saving access and a vision window.

Within the new bakery area, our team stripped out an existing cold-room and replaced it with a temperature-controlled chocolate room to meet the increasing demand for the desserts and afternoon teas at Charlie’s and The Drawing Room. Working within a 200+ year old building presented unique challenges, predominantly regarding access and available space. Our team managed to install the UNOX 10-tray Bakertop Plus and prover within the bakery area with only 4mm space either side.
