How MKN’s SpaceCombi® Teams Allow for Full-Service Flexibility at Venney’s

At Venney’s at The Granby in North Thoresby, Head Chef Ant Cron is producing big, bold dishes from a seriously compact kitchen. With 100 covers and limited space, Ant needed powerful, flexible equipment that could handle busy services without compromise and so the MKN SpaceCombi®, supplied by Jestic Foodservice Solutions, was just the answer!

“When you’ve got a 100-seat restaurant and a kitchen that’s only built for 50, it was a struggle. That’s where the MKN came in. The SpaceCombi® is a smaller, very narrow, and can fit into any gaps. It’s multipurpose right off the bat.”

This compact double-cavity combi oven fits perfectly into tight spaces – just 55cm wide – but offers total flexibility with two separate cooking chambers. Roast in one, steam in the other, or slow-cook overnight for perfect brisket, lamb shanks and Yorkshire puddings every Sunday. The built-in Magic Hood keeps the kitchen atmosphere fresh, while MKN’s AutoChef and WaveClean technology streamlines cooking and cleaning with intuitive, touchscreen controls. Ant explains how the team are now able to get that high-quality output every time:

“Overnight roasting is a breeze, steaming the veg in the morning is not a problem, and the yorkshires come out absolutely spotless. Pavlovas are always a bit of an iffy one with certain ovens, but with the MKN, they come out gorgeous and are on point every time.”

Ant and the team at Venney’s were so impressed, they even added a second MKN SpaceCombi® to the new burger and breakfast bar. Reliable, efficient and packed with smart features, the SpaceCombi® range makes light work of even the busiest services, Ant continues:

“There’s nothing better than having a reliable bit of kit like an MKN at your disposal. If you are opening a brand-new restaurant, I’d recommend the MKN SpaceCombi® - I can’t say enough about how good that oven is!”
