CH and Co Group Catering utilise Lockhart Innovation Centre for delivering staff training & development in the commercial kitchen

CH&Co Group is an independent catering and hospitality group with a diverse portfolio of specialist businesses providing innovative catering, event and service solutions for business & industry, education, healthcare, inspiring venues and well-known visitor attractions.

On Thursday 11th January, they utilised the Lockhart Innovation Centre near Oxford Circus to carry out staff training and development for use in BUPA care homes around the country.

BUPA Care Homes is one the UK's largest providers of care homes. BUPA provide a choice of residential and nursing homes, for frail elderly people or those with dementia related illnesses. Read more about their services here.

Smooth Food

Throughout the day the development chefs on site created meals using Smooth Food Solutions - a standard of meal which allows a wider range of foods to be made more accessible to anyone needing extra care when eating...

1. The food is cooked.
2. Blended with liquid.
3. Gelea is added, whisked and boiled for 2 minutes.
4. Poured into moulds or trays and left to set.
5. The food can then either be served or frozen for later use.

This allows anyone needing additional help with eating to be able to enjoy a full and tasty-looking meal without the hindrance of cutting and slicing. Ideal for anyone with less-than-adequate hand-eye coordination, or those suffering with Dementia.

We also have a guest post from Handicare UK, providing tips and benefits for designing a Dementia-friendly kitchen here.

Cooking In The Cloud

Throughout the training, the meals were cooked using our built-in Lainox combination oven, distributed in the UK by Falcon Foodservice Equipment.

The unique feature that distinguishes the Lainox Naboo Combi-Oven from other professional ovens is called The Cloud. In the Cloud, you will find all the content you need to make the finished plate: recipes, the process, the preparation, the cooking process, and the presentation of each individual meal.

The Lainox Cloud provides and suggests, everything you need for exceptional quality results. Especially those that are reproduced every day. To find out more about Lainox & Falcon, visit the brand shop on our website here.

Ultimate Control With Induction

Our exclusive Chefmaster range was also on show in the Commercial Kitchen, showcasing a plug-and-play 3Kw induction hob with black plastic body and toughened black glass top with LED display.

The beauty of Induction Cooking is that the temperature range can be set to within 1 degree from 60 - 240 degrees, allowing for precision cooking and results. The countertop size of the hobs, as seen below, means they can be transported and used in a variety of situations, front of house and back of house.

Find out about our other Chefmaster success stories on our Case Studies page online.

Creme of the crop

For presentation, CH&Co Group used the Creme tableware range that we have extensively on display in the Lockhart Innovation Centre. You can see below that the tableware can not only be used for high-end service due to it's world-class standards of quality & accreditation; but combined with polycarbonate food-safe covers, a stacking system can also be employed for high-volume operations.

It is this versatility that defies the rules of convention by offering truly world-class product performance at remarkably affordable prices.

Crème is also designed with strength and durability at it's heart, and we stand behind this strength by offering a Lifetime Edge Chip Warranty with all plates, bowls, oval dishes, saucers, cups and mugs.
