Homerton Hospital in Hackney, London, chose the day of the 75-year anniversary of the NHS to launch a new meals service catering in the hospital grounds.
Using a Rieber Varithek ACS front cooking station with induction wok and flat hob modules, operating undercover with one chef and two assistants, Homerton cooked up a menu including stir-fried noodles, burgers and chicken wings with BBQ sauce.
Hospital staff queued up keen to try out the new style catering operation headlined by the value offer of a portion of stir-fried noodles @ just 95p.
"This is the first time we have ever catered outside the building, and just look at the queue of people; it's fantastic," said Stuart Hugill, Key Account Manager, ISS Facility Services UK.
"The restaurants inside the hospital are so popular they get crammed and this gives people a chance to enjoy their food outside in the fresh air."
Martin McKeown, Homerton Hospital’s Catering Operations Manager ISS Facility Services UK adds: “It’s only the first day, but you can see that catering outside has made a massive difference. It gets people away from their desks, gives them different food and a different concept, promotes interaction and gets them talking together."
