Mandarin Oriental Mayfair

Whatever the menu, without reliable refrigeration foodservice falls apart. For operations like Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, London, a five-star hotel with a choice of superb restaurants and bars, refrigeration requirements are vast and the range of necessary equipment, formidable.

From multiple coldrooms, refrigeration drawers, blast chillers, a dry meat ager, freezers, counters and cabinets, a trusted brand with a proven track-record was needed for the hotel’s ambitious kitchen project, which started pre-pandemic and was completed in spring 2024. That brand was Williams Refrigeration.
