Eden Park Stadium
Auckland, New Zealand
Date Established (month/year): Since 1900
Leading up to a certain international rugby tournament the redevelopment of New Zealand’s largest stadium captured the imagination of a wide variety of public, political and commercial interests. But before the first whistle blew there were other teams putting in the hard yards.
It was a big undertaking. Designed to seat 60,000 spectators, the stadium was also the site for the country’s largest tender for a kitchen and bar fit-out.
Wildfire Commercial Kitchens and Bars won this tender. Their experience with stadiums and large commercial ventures made them the logical choice. Previous work supplying systems for major stadiums in Canterbury,
Wellington and the Waikato meant Wildfire director Nils Danielsen knew what to look for.
Wildfire looked to source New Zealand manufactured products and work closely with local companies. Danielsen believed that such companies provided “world-class equipment made to international specifications.”
With the elevated profile and important function of Eden Park these high standards were non-negotiable. The installation of Moffat equipment for key tasks delivered individual chefs the security of first-class food preparation technology, and the stadium the means by which to deliver a huge output quickly and efficiently.
To ensure clean-up was just as efficient as food preparation Wildfire also specified Washtech dishwashing equipment, with units placed around Eden Park to cope with the different volumes required.
The good thing about a bright spotlight is that it allows you to shine. Come the first kick-off, Eden Park rose to the occasion. With the use of Moffat equipment throughout the stadium the company was understandably proud to play its part.
To deliver quality and quantity the kitchen at Eden Park has a full Waldorf suite, comprising grill-plates, fryers, chargrills and hobs. Moffat’s Convotherm combi ovens are also prevalent, the flexibility and power of these units delivering peace of mind for when the big crowds pass through the gates.
Crown Braising Pans and Kettles have been installed. With these resources supporting them catering staff can sufficiently cover the stock, sauce and casserole preparation required for larger functions.
The kitchens and bars also feature Washtech dishwashing technology. This includes three-rack conveyor high-volume dishwashers, pot-washing machinery and undercounter and pass-through machines.
