Shoreditch, London
The Bike Shed is a unique biking hub in Shoreditch, London that is much more than a restaurant. The building also hosts a store and a barber shop. Hallmark Kitchens were approached by a Project Manager working with The Bike Shed owners, with whom we had previously collaborated on various Aubaine projects. We were tasked with designing and developing an open Kitchen, Bar, and Coffee station, with aesthetics as a key consideration since processes like Prep and Washing would be visible to customers.
The vision was to create a linear backfitting with cooking, prep, beverages, and a complimentary Pass Counter where the Dishwasher could be hidden from view as much as possible. Given the kitchen's location in a railway arch, we were unable to fix anything to the structure, so we designed a ‘services’ cavity against which our equipment could be fitted. The Client was also very conscious of budget, and the entire scheme was designed with flexibility and potential future mobility in mind, should the concept evolve in a different direction.
"This was a very tight programme from the initial survey to the completion of the install and commissioning of the equipment, requiring almost full-time day project management. The understanding and cooperation from the client and the main contractor ensured that the project went smoothly, was delivered and installed on time, and within the client’s budget.”
Hallmark is incredibly happy that the Bike Shed has been recognised for its unique and quirky style. We are thrilled that it has been shortlisted for the restaurant and bar design awards, as it was one of our most memorable projects due to its location and specific style.
Equipment installed at The Bike Shed kitchen included Precision Refrigeration and blast chillers, Scotsman ice machines, Winterhalter warewashing equipment, Rational Combi Oven, Falcon prime cooking equipment, Gamko bottle fridges, and stainless steel fabrications from Pioneer.
