STAR QUALITY
With nearly £200m spent on its estate over the past six years, Star Pubs & Bars
has emerged as one of the high-fliers of the British pub sector. The company
has identified food as core element of its growth strategy, which in turn is
impacting the way it designs and equips kitchens. FEJ travelled to the Jolly Friar
in Basildon, Essex — which itself has undergone new management and interior
refurbishment — to get the full lowdown from Star’s food chief Mark Teed.14 | Foodservice Equipment Journal | August 2019 http://www.foodserviceequipmentjournal.com
