New Orchid Garden

Sat on the corner of Eaton Rd in Liverpool once was an unassuming restaurant with a steady turn over and a solid base of regulars. But Stan Huges the owner of the New Orchid Garden knew that it could be so much more.

On the 13th of October 2009 Stan closed the doors and ventured on what can be described as an ambitious plan.

The plan was to increase the dining capacity of his restaurant by 60% and create an addition lounge area while vastly enhancing the whole dining experience, all in a space of just 13 days.

The plan entailed totally refitting the main restaurant bar plus adding a pre and post drinks area upstairs.

Stan chose IMC’s Bartender range of stainless steel underbar equipment for the main restaurant bar as this would be the busier of the two. The upstairs would utilise IMC’s F2 system primarily as space was at a premium.

On the 27th October Stan open the doors on what he describe as a “beast”. Within days the number of drinks served had increase by 78%. With the addition of a cocktail menu and a wider selection of beer and wine, The New Orchid Garden was not only the hottest place to eat but had an atmosphere of a trendy town bar.

It is a testament to IMC’s Bartender and F2 underbar systems that this vast increase has been made with ease, the unassuming stainless steel system perfectly blending with the modern restaurant surroundings.
