CHR Foodservice Equipment, designer of the British-built, super energy efficient Eco-Chef bespoke cooking suite, has been called in to design and install the kitchens at the newly refurbished The Pier, Cleethorpes. The Pier, Cleethorpes, originally built at a cost of £80,000 and opened in 1873, has seen many changes of use over its lifetime, being known predominantly as a nightclub in recent years, before it closed in 2012.
It was subsequently purchased by local businessman Bryan Huxford who has put in place a management team to steer the venue back to its family values, whilst looking to provide quality corporate facilities for conferences and exhibitions.
Our aim is for the pier to be a successful part of the regeneration of Cleethorpes, to be a resource for locals and to encourage more visitors to the town and support local businesses,” says managing director Simon Huxford. “We feel it is time to put something back into the community. “The Pier will replace the gap left in the entertainment market by the closure of the Winter Gardens.
