NORTHAMPTON town centre restaurant, The Church, is currently undergoing further expansion under the care of The Richardsons Group..
The conversion to the Grade 1 listed building will see the existing kitchen dramatically increase in size. The considerable extension has been deemed necessary due to the rising demands placed on the kitchen.
Over the years, the establishment has acclaimed a fantastic reputation throughout Northamptonshire for the quality of their offering and most recently won a Food and Drink award for their Jubilee themed breakfast. The restaurant has also become a highly popular venue for weddings, as well as a front runner amongst corporate hires. This has in turn generated greater pressure on the Chefs and their kitchen space.
Taking the surge of business into consideration, it was imperative to extend the work space. The new conversion will mean the growing team of Chefs will be able to produce and create meals in a much more spacious and well fitted environment. French Head Chef Michael Gaud is looking forward to the finished product, he said “The kitchen brigade and I are really excited to get in there and start using the new state of the art appliances.”
Working hand in hand with representatives from the English Heritage the adaptations being made to the 12th Century building have all the right intentions. The first phase of the reconstruction began earlier this month and is due to be completed before the inevitable busy trading months ahead, such as Christmas and New Year.
Managing director of The Richardsons Group, Jake Richardson is pleased with the work so far, he comments “The extension is a great addition to the rest of the building and essential for us to keep up with the growing business. Currently we can serve up to a 120 seated guests at full capacity and now with the added kitchen facilities, Michael and the rest of the team will be able to achieve even greater culinary heights.”
