Local Café Palmerston North

Local Café located at Palmerston North was completed and opened early March 2017. It aims to get much of the cafe's supplies from family-owned businesses from throughout the wider Manawatu region.

The cafe's fruit and vegetables come from Manawatu's Riverlea, which is based on a family farm and got its start selling gourmet lettuces to restaurants 30 years ago. Its eggs come from Linton couple Rachel and Jordan Hercoe, who are known as The Free Rangers, and Local's coffee comes from Palmerston North roasters Arrosta.

Southern Hospitality in collaboration with Project Design International and Project Stainless was proud to help the owners Tim and Rebecca Mordaunt with their new venture!

We fitted their kitchen with a Turbofan convection oven set on stand made specifically for the oven, an infill bench, a Blue Seal double basket fryer, a Blue Seal griddle with toaster, and a Blue Seal cook range with oven. Seen at the right end is a Eurochill Summit upright solid door refrigerator.

Project Mechanical Ltd manufactured a custom-built Britannia extraction unit above the cooking equipment to keep the kitchen fresh, this was installed by a local mechanical outfit. We also fitted a custom made stainless steel bench with a sink and two Simply Stainless wall shelves above it.

Project Stainless also fitted in a custom measured fire retardant Stainless Steel wall lining to reflect the heat off the cooking equipment.

Here you see a Eurochill under counter fridge below a custom built stainless steel bench by Project Stainless. The wash area was fitted with a custom stainless bench with a Fisher rinse arm. We also installed a Starline under counter dishwasher with several Simply Stainless wall shelves.

We also installed a Starline glasswasher behind the front counter along with a Delta Backbar beverage and bottle chiller and a modular glass rack (not pictured).

Apart from the above, we provided the café with a variety of cookware, table top items such as crockery and cutlery from Accolade, salt and pepper shakers, glassware and other assorted items.
