Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Ferryman’s Inn' in Fowey, Cornwall, found their Sunday carvery pass was becoming chaotic, with no dedicated space for pre-warmed plates and side dishes.
"We needed a simple solution to keep our pass organised during the Sunday rush. This ambient cupboard top shelf slotted right onto our existing Inomak unit and immediately gave our chefs the breathing room they needed. It’s been absolutely brilliant for our workflow."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The result? The team reported a 20% faster plating time during peak service, significantly reducing queues and improving the customer experience.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- First, double-check the gantry is compatible with your specific Inomak model.
- Ensure the base hot cupboard or unit is on a firm, level surface before you begin.
- Attachment is straightforward, but it's always easier and safer with two people to lift and position it.
- Securely fasten all provided fixings to ensure the gantry is stable and wobble-free.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down daily with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, food-safe detergent.
- For a deeper clean, use a dedicated stainless steel cleaner to restore its shine.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals as they can scratch the surface.
- Periodically check that all fixings remain tight and secure, especially in a busy kitchen.

The Inomak Promise: Built for the British Kitchen
Inomak has carved out a reputation for creating equipment that's as hardworking as the teams who use it. This stainless steel gantry for a hot cupboard isn't just a shelf; it's a testament to that philosophy. While the specs tell you about its size and material, the real value lies in its long-term reliability and the thoughtful design that understands the pressures of a commercial kitchen. The choice of premium AISI 304 steel means less worry about rust or degradation, even in a steamy, fast-paced environment. This translates to fewer replacements, consistent performance, and a service area that always looks professional and hygienic. It’s a smart investment in operational efficiency, designed to withstand the daily grind and help your service flow smoothly for years to come.
Explore more from InomakWhy AISI 304 Steel is a Kitchen Essential
Ever wondered what makes 'catering grade' stainless steel so special? It's all down to the recipe, and AISI 304 is the top-tier formula. Think of it like the difference between a standard raincoat and a high-performance GORE-TEX jacket. One keeps you mostly dry, but the other is built to withstand a storm, resist tears, and last for years. This AISI 304 stainless steel gantry is the GORE-TEX of kitchen steel. Its high chromium and nickel content creates a protective layer that actively fights off rust and corrosion from salts, acids, and cleaning chemicals. Crucially, it's non-porous, meaning bacteria has nowhere to hide, making it incredibly hygienic and a doddle to keep clean.
Who Should Buy This?
- Carveries & Pub Restaurants: Ideal for holding plates, gravy boats, and veg tureens directly above the main hot cupboard.
- School & University Canteens: A brilliant way to organise the serving line for desserts, side dishes, or cutlery.
- Hotel Buffets & Event Venues: Keeps plated dishes or breakfast items neatly arranged and ready for service.
- Contract & Event Caterers: Adds an essential layer of storage to temporary service setups, improving efficiency.
