Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Severn Boathouse' in Shrewsbury were struggling with a bottleneck at their pass during their popular Sunday roast service. Their single-shelf gantry was constantly overflowing, causing delays and frustration for the chefs.
"The Inomak double gantry immediately solved our space problem. We can now hold twice the number of plates, ready for mains. It's made our busiest service of the week far less stressful and much more efficient. Simple, solid, and does the job perfectly."
Robert Finch – Head Chef
The upgrade resulted in a smoother workflow, reducing average plating time during peak hours by nearly 25%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always check you have all the parts and fixings before you begin assembly.
- We recommend a two-person team to assemble and lift the gantry safely.
- Ensure it is securely fixed to the compatible Inomak base unit as per the instructions.
- Position the unit on a level, stable surface before attaching the gantry.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down all surfaces daily with a soft cloth and a food-safe sanitiser.
- For a deeper clean, use a designated stainless steel cleaner to maintain its shine.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch the surface.
- Periodically check that all fixings are tight and secure, especially in a busy kitchen.

Explore more from InomakWhy AISI 304 Stainless Steel is a Kitchen Essential
Ever wondered what makes 'AISI 304' steel so special for kitchens? Think of it as the superhero of metals for any food environment. It’s a specific grade of stainless steel with high levels of chromium and nickel, which gives it fantastic resistance to rust, corrosion, and staining. It's completely non-porous, meaning it won't absorb food juices, odours, or harbour nasty bacteria. Essentially, it’s the gold standard for hygiene. Imagine spilling a bit of tomato sauce or lemon juice on a lesser metal – over time, it could stain or even start to corrode. With 304 grade, a quick wipe is all it takes to make it look brand new again, ensuring your kitchen stays compliant and safe for years to come.
