Oxford restaurant switches to induction cooking range saving energy and money

Folly Bridge, nestled by the River Thames near the Westgate Centre, is a restaurant that captures the essence of Oxford with its vibrant atmosphere and delicious food.

After commissioning a Workplace Energy Efficiency Assessment, the riverside restaurant decided to take action and implement several of the recommended measures to improve their energy efficiency.

An induction cooking range saves energy

The resulting action report highlighted ways to reduce energy use and costs while shrinking their carbon footprint. To tackle the heat experienced in the kitchen and high gas bills, they opted to install a modern induction cooking range. Unlike their old gas hotplate, which stayed on constantly, the new induction hob only heats up when needed. This not only saves electricity but also lowers heat output, creating a more comfortable environment for staff.

With a helping hand from a grant fund, they managed to cover part of the cost for the new range. The assessment also suggested other energy-saving tweaks, like upgrading to LED lights and improving heating controls.

Now, the Folly are truly demonstrating their commitment to sustainability.
