Award Winning Pub Chef Uses Wood and Magnetic Fields to Create Dishes

Craft Guild Pub Chef of the Year 2008, Matt Van Wyck has taken over the King's Arms at Litton which is located in the beautiful Chew Valley, just south of Bristol, famous for its lakes, fantastic walks and stunning Somerset scenery. With the local pub's rustic charm, idyllic location and ecletic mix of fine dining and wood fired oven pizza, the menu, created by Matt and Elriette, is rated by the locals as one of the best around. The pub's beer garden includes table tennis and darts for the children and an outdoor kitchen and BBQ that only the Aussie in Matt would think of and use to its full potential. Matt also smokes and cures his own hams and always uses fresh local produce with provenance from local suppliers. Having travelled to over 89 countries and cooked professionally in 32 of them Matt has a knowledge covering fine dining to boutique pizza, so there is something for everyone at The King's Arms. Target Catering Equipment supplied and fitted the Italian wood fired oven at The King's Arms and also provided the latest energy saving induction cooking suite to the pub which Matt loves to use, having been one of the first converts to induction cooking over 14 years ago when induction cooking was in its infancy. Target Catering Equipment's i-hob induction hobs and induction cooking stations cooking stations are ideal for commercial, entry level use, where cost is a major consideration. As little or no ventilation is required there is no need for expensive gas safety interlocks and ventilation systems making Target's induction cooking stations ideal for small catering kitchen's and listed buildings. Along with the energy saving benefits induction cooking brings, there is also the maintenance time benefit as all units are mobile and easily wiped clean as spills do not burn onto the cool cooking surface. Matt would settle for nothing less in his kitchen combining the very basic wood fired oven and the very latest induction i-hob cooking technology from Target Catering Equipment. Check out this little gem after taking a walk in the countryside surrounding the pub to work up a hearty appetite. The kitchen is open for all to see and a warm welcome awaits both locals and visitors to this stunning area - dogs are welcome and Matt and Elriette have one of the largest beasts I have ever seen!
