Project Summary

At the heart of this project is the ambition to redefine the restaurant's culinary identity by equipping Executive Chef Adam Sanderson with a kitchen suit that matches his creativity and precision. Rather than simply replacing equipment, the initiative focuses on building a future-ready cooking environment that blends innovation, efficiency and artistry.

The new installation transforms the kitchen into a showcase of modern gastronomy, where induction, griddles, fryer and oven technologies work together as a single, integrated system. This design not only streamlines workflow but also creates a stage for guests to witness the craft behind degustation and à la carte menus inspired Mornington Peninsula's rich terroir.

Collaboration with Phoeniks ensures that every element from MKN Masterline Suite to the Salvis Salamander is seamlessly aligned. The result is a kitchen that embodies both technical excellence and aesthetic refinement, empowering the team to deliver dishes that are as innovative as they are authentic.

• MKN Electric Griddle Plate 2 Supra OPT 850 - robust, high-performance griddle delivering precision searing and consistent results.
• MKN Electric Oven GN 2/1 - versatile, spacious oven designed for reliability and efficiency in high-demand service.
• MKN Work Table 800 mm and 600 mm OPT 850 - durable, ergonomic workstation that enhances workflow and supports seamless kitchen integration.
• MKN Electric Surface Induction Range 4 zone OPT 850 - precise, energy-efficient induction cooking with minimal ambient heat.
• MKN Electric Deep Fat Fryer London II OPT 850 - powerful fryer ensuring consistency and versatility across multiple frying techniques.
• Salvis Salamander Classic Pro - rapid, reliable finishing and grilling solution for professional service.

Completed in 2019, this project was more than a kitchen upgrade, it was a strategic investment in  long-term culinary performance. While the initial design was shaped in collaboration with Head Chef Adam Sanderson, the equipment installed continues to play a vital role today. Under Head Chef Craig Lunn's leadership, the Phoeniks systems enable the kitchen to handle the demands of regular service with efficiency, consistency and confidence. By pairing advanced, reliable equipment with a commitment to local terroir, the restaurant maintains its position as a leader in contemporary gastronomy and a destination for exceptional food culture.
