LOCATION: BARS & DINING
“The top in the restaurant is over three and half years old, but still looks just as good as when it was put in - hence why Dekton was the obvious choice in the Cookery School. It looks good, it feels good, but importantly it gives us all the benefits required,” said Campbell.
Located just yards away from the main restaurant, the Cookery School is open to both professional chefs for intense training days and enthusiastic home cooks enjoying the various different courses on offer. Campbell wanted the space’s new design to bridge the gap between a commercial and domestic kitchen, ensuring that all students felt at home in the space. However, it was also key that the material specified for the tops would be robust enough to cope with intense daily use. Having already seen Dekton’s high resistance to heat, scratches and stains in action on the restaurant’s pass, Campbell was assured it would be more than up to the job, whilst offering additional benefits for the particular skills taught in the school.
“Perfect for the Cookery School, Dekton remains the same temperature as the room, unlike marble and granite surfaces which can be at a much lower temperature to their environment. When we are teaching students to make bread for example, we can turn out the dough straight onto the surface as it’s very tactile, smooth and a pleasure to work on,” Campbell continued.
Previously used in the restaurant pass, Dekton Danae was selected again for two worktops in the cookery school, creating contrast and giving the centre of the area a feeling of spaciousness due to its lighter hue. Selected for the remaining worktops and splashbacks in the Cookery School, the award-winning Dekton Trilium, part of the Industrial Collection, immediately stood out as the obvious choice for Campbell.
Campbell added: “Trilium- wow, amazing. What the whole restaurant and the cookery school is all about is natural woods, materials, coppers, bronzes and brick so this design really complements the dark colours and metallic elements and was the obvious choice here. For me, the Dekton tops really create the visual wow-factor in this kitchen.”
