It has been a few short months since GastroNorth’s GastroLab officially opened its doors and it is already impressing chefs and end users across the industry.
The idea for the GastroLab was developed from the GastroNorth team’s passion for delivering excellence, and the desire to create a development kitchen that would be constantly evolving, containing all of the most current and leading industry equipment.
The GastroLab launched in March this year and can be found on-site at our Team Valley Trading Estate headquarters in Gateshead, where our talented development chef Alan McKenna cooks up a selection of delights for visitors.
Those visiting the rustic-designed GastroLab will receive a first hand experience of the latest and most innovative equipment available on the market, and can learn about the functionality and benefits of each product, as well as enjoying live cooking demonstrations which can, of course, be taste tested.
Both current and future customers looking to purchase new equipment for their catering facility will be able to take a clear look at what’s on offer before making a decision, ensuring that the equipment they buy is right for them.
At the GastroLab we also hold a number of free events available to those in the foodservice industry, these are ideal if you are looking to come in for a fun filled day in our lab and to learn more about certain pieces of equipment.

Coming up on September 7, we are holding the Frima VarioCooking Centre Live Demo where you will enjoy a stunning sample menu from the specialist Frima chef team and learn about the great features and benefits built into this range.
Our Unox Mind Maps Live Demo takes place on September 13, where we will demonstrate the capabilities of the Unox Mind Map Plus Combination Oven and combined Deck Top Bakery Oven/Prover.
