The Client That Took a Chance – And Never Looked Back

Installed Jan 2011. Still running in 2025. One callout. £50,400 saved.

Appleby Manor trusted CHR to build our first all-electric kitchen suite — the original EcoChef 1.

Made in Lancashire. Designed by experts. Loved by chefs. Built to last.
• £300/month energy saving
• £50,400+ saved to date
• 20 tonnes CO₂ saved per year
• 1 callout in 14 years
• 1 annual service
• ~120 covers/day, every day

A rotating combi oven lets one chef run breakfast & lunch solo. Three chefs deliver a 5-course dinner for 60 covers. Smart kit. Smarter design.

And the industry noticed — this project won a CEDA Award for Outstanding Customer Service in 2012.

We now have 100+ clients who took the same chance — from Michelin 3-star restaurants to private hotels like this.

Still saving. Still spotless.
Still purring like a Cheshire Cat (from Lancashire).
