In Clark’s Shoes!
We spoke to Steve and Andy Clark twin brothers who run The Kingfisher, Keswick after they chose Mallinson’s for their new range
Q1: How long have you owned your shop?
We took on the business in 2010. Our father ran a popular and successful butcher’s shop nearby for many years and we still make our famous Cumberland sausage to an age-old secret recipe. Keswick is a popular, busy tourist destination as well as being home to 5,000 hungry residents year-round. We pride ourselves on serving the highest quality food as our reputation is everything.
Q2: Why did you change your range?
Unfortunately, we had a fire at the shop, so we had no choice!
Q3: How many ranges had you owned or worked on before buying your new Mallinson’s range?
A: Just the one. After the fire we felt we needed a change.
Q4: How did you come across Mallinson’s? Our long-standing independent service engineer recommended Mallinson’s and we trust his judgement given that he works on all kinds of ranges every day. He told us that Mallinson’s ranges were solid, reliable and built to last. We looked at their website and saw that the company has a solid history and all their ranges are handmade in Lancashire by a team of highly experienced engineers, many of whom have been with the company for decades.
Q5: What were your criteria when deciding on a new range?
After the fire our main concern was safety. We were told that Mallinson’s configure their ranges to separate the steam and fume pipes as an added safety feature and that they have a proven track record of safety and reliability.
We also like simplicity – we have a busy restaurant upstairs as well as the takeaway downstairs and we need the range to fry the food quickly with a minimum of fuss. We have always thought that frying fish and chips should be simple and as with any piece of equipment the more functions and gadgets there are, the more can go wrong and we wanted our new range to last.
Q6: So why did you decide to go with Mallinson’s?
Mark and Martin visited us right away and despite their football allegiances we got on really well! They reviewed all aspects of the shop and restaurant, noting the extraction route as well as the space available for the new range. In the circumstances we were dealing with an insurance company and Mark and Martin were very helpful with that too, providing relevant documents at short notice as and when required.
Q7: And how are you finding your new Mallinson’s range?
We couldn’t be happier with the range; it is exactly what we hoped for and what we need. All the team at Mallinson’s were superb before, during and after the installation and we would recommend them to anyone!
