Little oven suits Robin Hood

The amalgamation of an infants and junior school to create Robin Hood Primary, Nottingham, brought two schools together, but raised an awkward problem when it came to transporting school meals.

“The trolleys from the main kitchen could not travel over the rough ground between the two school buildings,” explains Julie Mayhew, Training and Development Officer, Catering and Facilities, Nottingham City Council Catering Service. “Even if we could get the trolleys there, they would not fit into the small goods lift which accessed the servery.

“Rieber’s Hybrid Kitchen is smaller than the trolleys, easier to move around and easily fits into the lift.

“We are currently serving around 30 meals from it, cooked in the main kitchen, but this number will eventually rise to around 100. It keeps good temperature and has really suited our needs.”

HYBRID KITCHEN

Robin Hood uses a Hybrid 140, with a 63 litre capacity, 14 support rails and external dimensions of 492 x 769 x 793. Heating elements are situated in the door, providing a maximum temperature of 140 degC. This model can accommodate 2 x 200 mm GN 1/1 + 1 x GN 1/1, 100 mm. The range extends to the Hybrid 200 has the same capacity as the 140, but a maximum temperature of 200 degC.

Hybrid Kitchens offer a lightweight and flexible approach to mobile, front of house foodservice. The system covers hot, chilled and ambient foodservice and can also incorporate hot and cold food service options and cooking facilities including induction wok, smooth griddle, boiling plates and food warming.
