LOCATION: BARS & DINING TOP CHEF When a world-renowned chef was on the lookout for a stylish and durable material for
the work surfaces of his new restaurant and cookery school, he turned to no other than Dekton by Consentino.
The ultra-compact surface Dekton by Cosentino has once again proven to be the surface of choice for professional chefs, with its recent specification by internationally- acclaimed, Michelin star chef John Campbell for his restaurant and cookery school, The Woodspeen.
Situated in the beautiful West Berkshire countryside near Newbury, The Woodspeen Restaurant was built on the plot of a once thriving local pub that had been left in a state of disrepair. Over a 12-month build period, the new building came to life, keeping the shell of the original pub but adding a large extension to the rear to create a bright, airy restaurant with fantastic views of the rolling countryside.
During the original renovation, Dekton in the colour Danae had previously been chosen for the restaurant’s open pass, designed to add a touch of theatre to guests who
are able to see the inner workings of the kitchen from the restaurant. Campbell wanted to steer away from the austere nature of standard stainless steel tops often found in professional kitchens to create a link between the kitchen and onlooking diners, and so Dekton offered both a beautiful and practical design solution for the pass.
Campbell explained: “Pans, plates and extremely hot utensils are used on the pass each and every day so it’s important that the surface is able to cope with the heat, which Dekton does brilliantly.”
This initial introduction to the ultra-compact surface led Campbell to specify it once again when embarking on the recent refurbishment of The Woodspeen Cookery School, citing how impressed he was with the surface’s durability as one of the core reasons.
