Banqueting Systems

IDL personnel have previous experience of installing some of the UK’s most prestigious sites with Convotherm, Rational and MKN Banqueting Systems, including combination ovens, plated trolleys with thermal blankets and blast chillers.

IDL also supply combination and regeneration gas or electric ovens with trolleys and thermal blankets, to serve from 20 to 2,000 covers plated or bulk service as well as blast chillers and storage refrigeration to suit your type of operation.

Considerations
Before installing a banqueting system the following needs to be considered: Is your system going to be a chilled and plated service with regeneration carried out just before the service of the meal? If so, which manufacturer’s combination oven is the most suitable for your particular operation?

Choosing The Right Method Of Service
Some combinations are capable of up to three regeneration cycles, a saving in capital expenditure and energy by using less ovens to serve the same number of covers - perhaps the service needs to be silver service with food being cooked-chilled, regenerated and served from the same dish. Some combination ovens have very little space between the shelves - as little as 45mm, and some stainless steel vegetable dishes are up to 65mm deep, so care needs to be taken when choosing the correct combination oven for your needs. It is also possible to install a less expensive regeneration oven for this type of service which will not require water or drainage. IDL have many years of experience and understand the different methods of service. Our sales team will carry out an in-depth study of your operation before recommending the best equipment to serve your needs.
