2011-07-21 18:22:00 - Premier hospitality manufacturer Steelite International assist Derbyshire hotel in unique dining experience

Something very exciting is beginning at Derbyshire’s multi-award winning East Lodge hotel, restaurant and wedding venue. The launch of the Indigo Chef’s Table dining experience now benefits from crockery provided by the hospitality industry’s first choice, Steelite International.

The luxury tableware company Steelite International is supplying the Chef’s Table with specially designed pieces of crockery, blending perfectly with the custom designed table and showcasing the food to perfection. The launch of the Chef’s Table comes in the wake of a major £¼ million kitchen refurbishment at East Lodge, which is being seen by the management as a springboard to deliver an overall dining experience that is unrivalled in the region, which has led to working with the finest names in the

industry, from Indigo to Steelite International.

“Steelite International is a byword for quality in the industry and we are delighted to be working with them,” said East Lodge Deputy Managing Director, Iain Hardman. “To successfully deliver the ultimate Chef’s Table experience we needed everything to be perfect, so to be able to use Steelite International products has added the ideal finishing touch to the top table at East Lodge.”

The restaurant re-opened to great acclaim at the end of January and British based tableware and crockery experts Steelite International have offered their unique products to the Chef’s Table, adding a touch of extra glamour to the event.

“At Steelite International we can help you create a tabletop presentation that enhances the mood of the occasion and showcases your food to perfection,” said Mr Kevin Oakes Chief Executive of Steelite International. “We take pride in supplying only the best establishments with our fine dining tableware and the Chef’s Table at East Lodge is set to be a fantastic experience and hopefully with the added presence of our products will make it that little bit more memorable.”

“The Chef’s Table is a real highlight, where people can enjoy fine dining and the use of the Steelite International tableware and crockery provides that special touch to display the food to perfection,” said East Lodge Head Chef Simon Bradley. “The new space and layout means this is one of the best kitchens I have ever seen internationally and we now have the perfect blend of fine food and ambiance to deliver a real treat when it comes to the ultimate kitchen and dining experience.”

Simon knows a good kitchen when he sees one in a career that has seen him cook everywhere from the Paris Ritz to Raymond Blanc’s celebrated Le Manoir and has worked for the biggest names in the business, from Raymond himself to Oliver Payton of Great British Menu fame and has been instrumental in ensuring the Chef’s Table is a truly unique experience to savour.

Owned by the Hardman family, this multi-award winning venue has remained at the top by constantly improving its service and living by the motto that good enough just isn’t good enough; a drive for excellence that has led not only to the development of the new Chef’s Table, but to this Hotel of the Year to be one of only 48 hotels in the country to be awarded a Visit England Gold Award and to be once again enjoyed gold and silver award success at the regional and national finals of the Enjoy England Excellence Awards in 2011 for Outstanding Customer Service.
