Our Kitchen
The school moved into our new kitchen in September 2010 and we are very proud of it. Not only is it set in the most beautiful garden, the site of the old stone masons in Cambridge, but it is also beautifully designed and equipped.
Cambridge Kitchens and Bathrooms has custom built the stunning kitchen for us, including six moveable, Corian-topped worktops allowing us to accommodate a total of 36 students for corporate events. Established in 1978 by Thomas Gledhill and voted Kitchen Retailer of the Year 2004 by Kitchen, Bedroom and Bathroom Magazine, the business specialises in designing and installing stylish, functional kitchens. The business is still a family business, headed by Thomas’ son Dylan and with outlets in Cambridge, Bishop’s Stortford and Newmarket.
Neff is the UK market leader in built in appliances. The company is passionate about cooking and specialises in a vast selection of advanced built in cooking appliances designed especially for the contemporary kitchen.
Neff’s flagship appliance is the single oven with the famous – and original – CircoTherm® system of fan cooking, much imitated but never equalled.
Unique to Neff is the award-winning ‘SlideAway’ door single oven and the ergonomically designed Revolution handle and FlexiRail® flexible shelf system, as well as NeffLight® to see what’s cooking inside without opening the door.
Stainless steel dominates the Neff collection for 2010 as it blends in with all furniture styles to create synergy throughout the kitchen. Matching hobs and hoods – plus microwave ovens, steam ovens, coffee centre and warming drawers – are offered by Neff for a coordinated effect.
Energy efficiency is a priority for the brand in these and all other product categories; all Neff dishwashers are triple ‘A’ rated and all Neff refrigeration is CFC and HFC free. Furthermore, all these appliances boast impressively low decibel ratings to make them ideal for today’s open plan kitchen designs.
