Clifton Food Range®

The Staff Canteen

Clifton Food Range® is part of Nickel-Electro Ltd, a family firm based in Weston-super-Mare which was incorporated as a limited company in 1941, but its roots can be traced back to 1935 when the business first started. Now in its 3rd generation of family members, the company prides itself on being a strongly established, independent British manufacturer. The company’s extensive knowledge and expertise in manufacturing highly accurate temperature control equipment for the scientific market, has enabled them to introduce the Clifton Food Range® which offers chefs sous vide equipment with unparallelled specific temperature control to produce consistently perfect results. Continuous investment in the latest manufacturing and information technology means that the company can remain competitive and innovative with new products and designs. Clifton water baths are in use in the most acclaimed kitchens worldwide and chefs regularly refer to them as ‘Cliftons’. The range that Clifton offer continues to grow as more and more chefs demand the equipment. Along with the unstirred and stirred range of water baths, Clifton Food Range® also offer a range of duobaths ™ and compact water baths. The duobath ™ allows the chef to cook at two different temperatures simultaneously and with two different liquids, e.g. water in one side and oil in the other. The compact water baths have the controls placed on the narrow end of the bath, so that the whole unit can be run from ‘front to back’ on the counter top. This results in a saving where space is at a premium in busy kitchens. Clifton Food Range® is supported by a number of high profile chefs including many who hold several Michelin Stars. Typical customer comments include: “The consistency of the cooking is fantastic and the customer service that Clifton provides is second to none. They are simply the best in the business.” Agnar Sverrisson Texture Restaurant, London. “I am very pleased with Clifton Food Range® products - An extremely experienced pair of hands that will never let you down.” Bryn Williams, Odette’s Primrose Hill. “My four Clifton Food Range® water baths are some of the most important pieces of equipment in my kitchen. The precise temperature control enables us to deliver consistently excellent meals with reduced wastage, and there’s less stress during service.” Tom Kerridge, Hand & Flowers, Marlow. Clifton Food Range® offer chefs the opportunity to come and visit their premises in Weston-super-Mare to see how the water baths are manufactured and to trial them in the Clifton development kitchen. The visit is a chance for guests to learn more about sous vide cooking in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. It is also an opportunity to gain an understanding of how the water baths work and to experience the remarkable textures and flavours that can be achieved with sous vide cooking. During the visit, guests can take a tour of the on site factory to see how the baths are manufactured, as well as visiting the garden grounds where Clifton grow all their own vegetables and keep several bee hives. The vegetables can then be used in the kitchen as components to various sous vide dishes. Clifton Food Range is justifiably proud of the fact the water baths are made in Great Britain.
