Professional
bakers all the way to chefs at home are delighted to hear that the culinary
show of the year is finally back – the Great British Bake Off is set to hit our
screens on the 6th August.
A great source of debate during office
coffee breaks, or simply great quality viewing, GBBO has certainly made
itself at home amongst Britain’s finest television shows, and no wonder! Each
year brings with it a brand new set of shiny KitchenAid mixers perched
elegantly on each competitors work stations, reigniting viewer’s passion for
all things baked as well as filling us with mixer envy.
These reassuring words come from the accreditation schemes founded by the Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association (CHSA).
In essence, buying plastic refuse sacks under the scheme ensures that you will get a good quality product, labelled accurately and from a reputable organisation.
All our Jantex plastic refuse sacks fall under the CHSA accreditation scheme.
Summer brings with it plenty of reasons to be happy. The gorgeous weather we enjoyed earlier in the year has returned, and looks set to stay a little while longer.
And as if that were not enough to raise the mood, the Nisbets Catering Supplies £2.5 Million Warehouse Clearance event is now on, with savings on everything from Tableware and Bar Supplies to Catering Furniture.

Colour coding is used by many trades for a quick and easy identification of products and to avoid cross contamination.
Colour coded cleaning equipment was first initiated in the 1990’s by the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc). The BICSc began to develop a simple universal colour coding system - consisting of blue, green, red and yellow - that would be recommended for use on items commonly found in the janitorial cupboard.
From there on, in 2006 the Food Standards Agency (FSA) introduced a number of new food and hygiene legislations which transitioned the colour coding recommendation over to kitchens.
Colour coded cleaning is widely used throughout the catering and hospitality trades where there is a high risk to health and safety of the general public. Our range of colour coded cleaning equipment is suitable for use in kitchens, washrooms, bars and public spaces. Whether it’s a dustpan & brush set, cloth, mop or bucket, we can cater for you.
Anglia Farmers (AF)
was established as the result of the merger of Loddon Farmers and Mid Norfolk
Farmers back in 2003. Now with 3,500 full members nationwide and representing
over 11,000 farmers, AF provides an
important support mechanism buying everything from agricultural machinery,
energy supplies, mobile phones and animal feeds for a range of outlets from
farms, golf clubs, leisure attractions and even pubs.
With the promise of just one
monthly invoice, no matter the raft of purchases made, members can access many
benefits including improved prices, benchmarking services, market information
and a support network that takes many of the day to day tasks away from busy
desks and farms.
Pests come in all shapes and sizes and with this comes a swarm of issues for catering establishments.
Ants, mice and rats aside, flies are not only a nuisance in the kitchen but a health and safety matter too.
Flies are a carrier and transmitter of many diseases (some serious) including Campylobacter and E. coli so it is essential that these pests are controlled.
Nisbets have a range of fly killers and a chain door fly screen which will help to get the situation under control.
A fundamental feature
of any successful catering establishment is its selection of grilled foods such as
paninis or toasties. In order to provide these, it’s necessary to have access
to a grill, but there are many different types of grill, each suiting different
businesses. “What grill should we use?” is a question a lot of businesses have
to ask, but Nisbets have the answer. Celebrate the summer with Buffalo’s new
range of grills, available exclusively from Nisbets. Whatever business you run,
your customers are sure to enjoy the perfect grilling that Buffalo’s range
provides.
For this week’s guest
blog, I was asked to write about which kinds of equipment I believe cooks meat
best. In all honesty, even if I managed to complete this mammoth of a task, I'm certain even
the most devout readers would eventually have to exit the page, and seek refuge
in a dark, quiet room. As with thousands of different kinds of cooking equipment
sold through Nisbets, each with the ability to cook meat in a variety of ways
and with the endless types and cuts of meat means, this blog could quite
literally go on forever.
Summer is the most popular season to ‘tie the knot’ and competition can be fierce. The happy couple will want only the best for
their big day so is your venue up to standard and surpassing the opposition?
At Nisbets we believe in
high quality products at the best value prices so you can maximise your profits.
Check out our cost effective ways to emanate quality without blowing your
budget.
As the temperature heats up, outdoor receptions will become increasingly popular. Our range of folding tables is ideal
for catering to large numbers. The temporary furniture is perfect for filling
marquees or large gazebos and can be easily packed up and stored away
when not in use. As well as being practical, when dressed with
the right items such as table linens andskirtings, they will emit elegance and style.
This July has seen temperatures soar, and if the forecast is to be believed, the mercury in our thermometers isn't set to fall any time soon, which is great news for events co-ordinators and outdoor caterers alike. The coming weeks will see weddings, fetes, school proms, street parties, country shows, anniversary celebrations and catered birthday parties, and with the weather set to stay fair, there is one thing that will help you and your customers make the most of the summer.
Gazebos. Not only do gazebos provide shelter - either from the searing heat or a potential torrential downpour - they also provide a focal point for any outdoor catered event, and give catering staff a hygienic and functional space in which to operate.
As the only Tudor Castle Hotel in
England, Thornbury Castle is uniquely placed to offer guests a culturally rich
experience. Steeped in over 500 years of
history, Thornbury is without doubt the jewel in the crown of the Luxury Family
Hotel Group and as you venture beyond the heavy oak doors you'll find yourself
walking in the same rooms and grounds as Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn did all
those years ago.
Although the venue oozes history, this is perfectly contrasted by a modern
yet traditional internationally inspired menu that uses the finest and freshest
ingredients, many of which are sourced from the castle’s own gardens, local
markets and nearby suppliers, to provide a culinary experience that the
Guardian once described as ‘being fit
for a king’.
