Chef Gary Rhodes opens cookery suite in Hertfordshire boarding school

Celebrity chef Gary Rhodes has opened a new state-of-the-art cookery suite at Queenswood School, an independent day and boarding school for girls in Hertfordshire.

Catering Design Group, one of the UK's leading restaurant and commercial kitchen design companies, designed, supplied and project managed the installation of the facilities in Hatfield.

The new suite, known as 'Haute Quisine', following a school-wide competition to find a name, features a chef's theatre with an overhead TV monitor for demonstrations, movable work stations, induction hobs, combination ovens, washware and refrigeration.

Simon Lee, Bursar, said: "Having spent some considerable time trying to find a suitable location for our new practical cookery suite we are now delighted with this outstanding facility. We have already made excellent use of its multipurpose design thanks to the superb design input from CDG.

"Our pupils really love using the facility which is light, vibrant and also extremely practical. We hope it will continue to be as popular, as it is now, for years to come."
