We have had signs made up from a family which does engraving and they have done us proud with these

And somewhat less exciting for you, we have gas. The guys are in there this weekend connecting Geoff's kitchen equipment up so as soon as that is done I will post pictures.

Very British. And absolutely brilliant – we love this and feel it just finishes off the bar quite nicely!

After much designing, we have a top bar! This allows for glasses to be stored in cupboards either side and wine glasses to be hung from the middle.

We have decided to put our wine fridge in the gap next to the bar. A cage if you will has been made for it with the left-hand side a wine display unit

And I left the carpenter finishing off the trimming for the main doors!

Trimming has been put in around all of the door frames in the restaurant just to finish off the appearance of the doors

The bar as you can see has been cut twice to allow for the draft beer pumps to comfortably slot in and also to allow for a work space underneath. What you can see behind the pumps is a glass-cooler donated by our (one and only) local brewery, Belikin.

And some masks - A generous donation from Mr Larder to add class to the place! Thank you Jerry!

Curtains, just to make the place feel more comfortable, homely and warm

He has also been putting up soft furnishings such as these decorative candle holders

Geoff has been busy playing about with the layout of the tables. Here, he has arranged the evening table!

We now have swing doors at the entrance of the kitchen. One is an 'in' door and the other an 'out' so staff can't bump into each other when one is carrying food and the other empty dishes.

A double sink has now been installed in the wash-up area in the kitchen. A tiler is in there as we speak putting back the tiles along the sink and also along the top of the metal work surface to prevent water leaking down the back!

Which as you can see Geoff is extremely pleased about! (Honest – he really is)

So on Sunday (24^th) we had Hurricane Richard which blew off our outside roof. There are pictures of what was the roof on here – it was the part that covered the outside seating area between the main building and the kitchen. But this is actually a blessing in disguise. We hated that roof and were contemplating changing it anyway so we are now in the process of picking out something nice before we have too much rain to flood the restaurant!

Finally followed by a broiler and two double deep-fat fryers

Then up came our heat lamps, coffee machines and microwaves

And shortly after the arrival of those, we had our Miami shipment in of kitchen equipment. Firstly the guys bought up the cooker, which Geoff promptly started assembling

We now have our equipment! We have a delivery of fridges and freezers from our local ‘B&Q’ store consisting of 6 small fridges, 2 glass-fronted fridges and 2 chest freezers

Well, from our previous post showing the entrance to the old kitchen, we have had the frame re-done as it did not go around the door itself. You can actually see where the frame used to go, but nearer opening we will be touching up areas including that one so hopefully you will see it less. But even now it looks a lot tidier!
