The Thatched Tavern has been reinvented! A traditional pub and restaurant, noted for outstanding food and located within a picturesque village, The Thatched Tavern has been completely ‘reinvented’ following a kitchen fire.

Situated in the village of Maidencombe on the outskirts of Torquay, Devon, see more on the Thatched Tavern project here.
Explains Head Chef Liam Murray, “Fruition managed the whole project from the ground up and did a fantastic job. They chose GS Group to handle the kitchen design and equipment specification and together we sat down to look at the options.
“I am a big fan of Charvet professional cooking suites. Having worked in London hotels and restaurants for several years, I knew from experience that Charvet is built like a tank, nothing ever went wrong; it is reliable, efficient and consistent in terms of heat output.
“From my point of view the key points are that consistency in performance and quality of workmanship; if you look after it, it will last forever!
“What surprised me is how price competitive the Charvet commercial cooking suite proved to be; it really is excellent value for money and I love it.
“I must also say that it was great to work with GS Catering Equipment and Director Karl Jones. There have been no issues to deal with during the design and installation; GS delivered exactly what they said and have not put a foot wrong.”
