Straits Kitchen in Urmston, Manchester, is the first of a chain of takeaways to launch in the North West, with a second unit already nearing completion in Southport.
SK has turned takeaway dining on its head by offering healthier alternatives to oriental classics, as well as a wealth of new and exciting dishes based on the philosophy of ‘Wellbeing Eating’. The menu is based around the core products of rice, noodles and rolls. These have been given a twist with the fusion of Japanese, Thai and Oriental influences.
At Urmston, the work involved stripping out the existing building to a shell, constructing a new extension, the installation of extract/air supply systems and built in cold and freezer rooms. We also designed a bespoke commercial kitchen, developed with the client, to specifically service the menu along with producing a palette of materials and finishes to fit out the customer front of house area. The brief also required us to design bespoke elements that are able to be used on future projects. This included the servery right through to the external signage.
As well as dealing with the planning and building regulation applications, NJSR also acted as Party Wall Surveyors on the project, negotiating awards with all three of the adjoining neighbours. We also dealt with the statutory authorities to upgrade services including the installation of a 3 phase electric supply.
