Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a popular seafood bistro in Padstow, Cornwall, decided their generic, unreliable pepper mills were letting down their carefully prepared dishes. They needed a robust, consistent, and professional pepper mill for restaurants that matched their high standards.
"We were constantly replacing cheap mills that would either clog or give a completely uneven grind. Since switching to the Peugeot Bistro mills, our chefs have total control, and even our front-of-house team has commented on how much better they look and feel on the tables. It's a small change that has made a noticeable impact on consistency."
Robert Finch – Head Chef
The switch resulted in a marked improvement in seasoning accuracy and completely eliminated mid-service equipment failures.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unscrew the knob at the top to remove the head and fill the reservoir with dry peppercorns (max size 6mm).
- Do not overfill; leave a little space at the top for the mechanism to work freely.
- Replace the head and screw the knob back on. Tighten it for a finer grind or loosen it for a coarser one.
- Give it a few test grinds to find your preferred consistency before use.
Keeping It Going
- To clean the exterior, simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid any liquid detergents.
- Never put the mill in a dishwasher or immerse it in water. The mechanism must stay dry.
- This mill is designed for black, white, green, and red peppercorns. Do not use it for salt or pink peppercorns, as their moisture/texture can damage the steel mechanism.
- If stored for a long time, empty the peppercorns to prevent them from absorbing moisture.

Explore more from PeugeotWhy a Two-Stage Grind Unlocks Superior Flavour
Ever wondered why freshly ground pepper from a quality mill tastes so much better? It's all down to the process, and Peugeot's two-stage mechanism is a masterclass in this. Think of it like preparing fresh herbs. You wouldn't just chop them once; you bruise them first to release their essential oils. This mill does the same for peppercorns.
First, a row of helix-shaped 'teeth' grab and crack the peppercorn, opening it up to expose its aromatic core. Then, a second set of teeth grinds the cracked corn to your chosen coarseness. This process ensures you get the full depth of flavour and pungent aroma in your food, not just little bits of heat. It's the difference between a whisper of flavour and a bold statement.
Who Should Buy This?
