About Briarfields Hotel
Family-owned Briarfields Hotel sits in the coastal village of Titchwell, Norfolk, serving seasonal food made with local ingredients. From fresh bread and burger buns to daily specials featuring local meat, fish, and seafood, much of the food is prepared in-house.
With freshness and quality at the heart of its offering, reliable refrigeration is essential to keeping ingredients in the best possible condition.
The Challenge
With rising food and operating costs, reliability and long-term value were very important factors to the Briarfields Hotel. The team needs something that could support a busy kitchen while helping to protect the quality of its fresh ingredients.
The hotel had previously used Foster refrigeration and valued its reliability and low maintenance requirements, so the new KORE by Foster Gamko range was a natural fit in their kitchen.

The Solution
We installed a KORE by Foster Gamko high temperature one-door cabinet in the Briarfields Hotel kitchen, alongside a 10-level capacity blast chiller and a two-door counter.
The fridge cabinet has provided the storage capacity the kitchen needs while fitting seamlessly into its existing operation. The team also welcomed the new range’s price point, providing Foster quality at a price that works for an independent hospitality business.
“First impressions? Five stars, as with all Foster fridges. Great storage, accessible. And the bonus with the new range is it’s got its quality but a better price point.”
For Briarfields Hotel, the investment is about more than the initial purchase. Reliable refrigeration helps the team store fresh ingredients with confidence while reducing the risk of maintenance issues disrupting the kitchen.
“Reliable refrigeration is very important because it allows us to keep our products as fresh as possible.”
