Downstairs at St Kilda’s iconic Stokehouse has recently been totally refurbished and has reopened as the Stokehouse Café. The kitchen fit-out was installed by Markforce Australia.
Originally opened as a teahouse pavilion in 1916, the new 240 cafe has bought back elements of the beach shack complete with photographs of the glory days at St Kilda beach adorning the walls. The beach-level dining room serves lunch and dinner seven days, plus breakfast which is particularly popular with cyclists at weekends.
The new kitchen and bar areas incorporate many Williams refrigeration products including Boronia back bar units, Quartz Star drink merchandisers and Opal and Emerald counter fridges and freezers with many units incorporating gastronorm tray drawer slides.
The project compliments the Stokehouse Brisbane project at South Bank which was opened in November 2011 and also incorporated many Williams refrigeration cabinets.
