The Botanic Inn itself is a Belfast institution,a big venue that’s popular with students who know it affectionately as ‘The Bot.’ “Lots of former students now in their 60s still drink there,” says the Group’s Quality Standards Manager, Gordon Harvey. At another end of the scale is Apartment, a stylish bar with floor-to-ceiling glazing giving views over Belfast where the glitterati go for cocktails and fine dining.
“I really took on board the design concept behind the Energy versions, The way Winterhalter has managed to get a heat exchanger to work efficiently in such a small space is remarkable.”
»The Bot« alone turns over around £5million per year. “We operate under traditional pub values, not only in terms of what we deliver to the customer but also in having a realistic view of the value of our business. It’s an attitude that’s helped keep us grounded,” says Harvey.
Whilst each of the 15 pubs has its own style, operation and menu, when it comes to undercounter glasswashers one brand does all: Winterhalter. “When we replace a glasswasher, we look to upgrade to a Winterhalter, especially in our busiest sites,” says Harvey. “There’s no doubt that they are the best, significantly superior to anything we’ve had before.”
Each of our customers has their own specific reasons for choosing Winterhalter for their commercial warewashing needs. These are Gordon Harvey's main ones :
The Bot is a real testing ground for equipment. Recently the Group installed a new hardwood block floor there. It lasted nine months. "So anything that goes into The Bot and survives – like the Winterhalters have – is deemed to be of the highest reliability!".
