Nottingham High School for Girls is a selective day school, founded in 1875. Originally housed in a group of Victorian mansions, the school has expanded considerably.
Their existing restaurant and kitchen was housed in a cramped 20 year-old temporary structure. The project involved the complete refurbishment of its catering facility.
Carford designed and installed a new restaurant and kitchen, while managing the entire process.
The new restaurant, which seats 250 pupils and staff, was built in its own purpose-designed building.
Carford supplied and installed everything in front and back of house - from cold rooms to utensils, including special tables and chairs that can be quickly removed.
1,100 pupils from four years of age are fed in split sittings and pass through much faster without lengthy queues and with a vastly improved choice of food.
The design allows the facility to be suitable for multifunctional use, including banquets.
