Only a few days to go!

'number eighteen brasserie' is coming along in leaps and bounds. The kitchen fabricators are in, and putting our ‘state of the art’ kitchen in its right place. The last few days have been really hectic both in the office, and on site. Last week we had (what seemed to be) endless amounts of equipment delivered. The fridges, the grill, ovens, ice-makers etc, all came piling in. Unfortunately, the building wasn’t quite ready for their arrival, and so this week we’re taking no breaks and it is ‘all hands on deck’ to get this show on the road. Builders, plumbers, electricians, kitchen fitters are all crawling around each other in the bid to meet the final deadline. The chefs are chomping at the bit to get stuck into their new home – the beautiful number eighteen kitchen! Yesterday, they spent the day working through some sample dishes, which were then tasted and commented upon. All we can say is ‘watch this space’, the food is simply delicious. Front of house team spent the day doing role-plays, getting to know each other, and spent a good hour debating the table arrangements. However, it was time well-spent. Decisions have been made, and it’s all beginning to come together now. The office is still as hectic as ever. We are now slightly overrun with the stock arriving in the door – from mop heads, to woks, to wine glasses, and aprons, the place is a circus of products!
Everyone is a bit overwhelmed by the swanky new EPOS system too... no matter what the training manual says about how easy it is to use, we’re all a little afraid of it. No doubt we’ll soon get to grips with the whole thing, and it will be plain-sailing from there on.
And fresh off the press, you are now able to drink at number eighteen! And we have a fine selection of local beers, ales, ciders & Perries for you to choose from, as well as our carefully selected wines from around the world. Check out the website www.black-mountain.co.uk for more information on your choices.
