Galvanizers on the menu for Jamie Oliver's new restaurant
20 January 2011
A galvanizing company’s technical expertise has proved a recipe for success after playing a part in celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s latest venture.
Merseyside Galvanizing, part of Wedge Group Galvanizing, has provided its hot-dip galvanizing treatment to structural steel used in the in-house butchery of Barbecoa, the Naked Chef’s new restaurant in London.Food industry specialist contractor, Burscough-based DanTech UK Ltd, was asked to design and construct three chillers, two with 7m by 4m meat hanging rooms, for the butchery’s ageing rooms, where high-quality cuts of meat, poultry and game are able to mature at a controlled, chilled temperature. Before the meat hanging system was installed, it was dipped in molten zinc at temperatures of up to 450°C at Merseyside Galvanizing’s Liverpool plant to protect the steelwork from corrosion caused by the humidity and condensation inside the chiller.
Colin Turner, Managing Director for DanTech UK, commented: “This was a really exciting project to get involved with, but also one which required us to meet quite tight deadlines to ensure the restaurant and butchery were open on time. Merseyside Galvanizing provided us with a very prompt and professional service to help us complete the job.”
Richard Smetham, Sales Manager for Merseyside Galvanizing, said: “It’s not every day that you get asked to work for one of the country’s most well-known celebrities, and we were understandably delighted to play our part in the project. DanTech UK did a great job producing the meat hanging rooms, and I’m sure the beef, chicken, pork and lamb that it enables to mature will be enjoyed by both the restaurant’s diners and the butchery’s customers.”
Barbecoa has been launched by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver in partnership with American barbeque expert Adam Perry Lang as part of the £500million One New Change retail and entertainment complex built in the shadow of St Paul’s Cathedral in London. As well as the first-floor restaurant, the venture also includes a street-level butchery run by Nathan Mills, who previously worked at the award-winning Ginger Pig butchery.
Wedge Group Galvanizing is one of the largest hot dip galvanizing organisations in the UK with a history dating back over 150 years. With 14 plants strategically placed across the country, they offer a truly national galvanizing service.
