Electrolux Professional, along with distributors Howell-Cummings, has played a crucial part in the redevelopment of East London salmonsmokery H.Forman & Son, re-opened this year by London Mayor Boris Johnson.
Following the win of the 2012 Olympics the smokery has been relocated from its original site to Fish Island in the Lea Valley where it now sits directly across the water from the new Olympic Stadium.
The new building makes a striking visual statement and has also seen an expansion of the business with the addition of a new glass fronted restaurant that gives panoramic views of the stadium. This will open to the public in the coming weeks and is also proving ideal for events and corporate entertaining, recently hosting a board meeting of the FSCI.
The site includes two commercial kitchens – a production kitchen for the smokery and a restaurant kitchen for the fine dining concept – both of which use Electrolux equipment. Both kitchens contain Electrolux’s 160lt undercounter refrigeration whilst the production kitchen also has Electrolux’s latest range of environmentally friendly dishwashing equipment, Green&Clean. The restaurant kitchen meanwhile relies solely on the Electrolux Libero cooking system fitted with induction units ready to provide high-end meals for its 60 covers.
