Lawns Farm
Known throughout Yorkshire and the Humber, for its range of delicious hot, cold, fresh and frozen foods, as well as the farm’s collection of exotic animals, many of which originate in Australia, Lawns Farm has become a firm family destination. Owned and run by three third-generation brothers, the farm has diversified from its roots as a mixed dairy farm, becoming a hub for local produce, a spot for families to enjoy the countryside.
Even with a simple offering, Anthony and his team understand the need for quality, consistency and, especially for takeaways, speed. By coincidence, Anthony met Scott Kedwards, Panasonic Professional Kitchen’s European Culinary Lead, at Farmfest. Explaining the challenges, the two discussed how the Panasonic NE-SCV3 High Speed Convection Oven could deliver an optimal solution. Anthony goes on to say:
“Scott and the wider Panasonic team took time to really understand our unique needs and challenges here at Lawns Farm, and while I initially took a little convincing, we decided on the new NE-SCV3 High Speed Oven. We’ve never looked back – it’s been revolutionary.
We’re able to cook our bacon and sausage sandwiches in seconds, we’ve added extras like hash browns, which the team upsell, and we’ve basically cut our wastage down to near zero as we no longer need to hold our pies and sausage rolls hot, they can be cooked to order.”
With space being a precious commodity in the shop, the design and footprint of the NE-SCV3 has also helped to deliver an answer to the needs of Lawns Farm, with Anthony explaining:
“The way the unit packs so much technology into such a small space is incredible. Thanks to its compact size and footprint, we’ve been able to position it in the corner, in full view of our customers. It looks so much better and performs at a completely different level to the equipment we were using previously.”
As the offering at Lawns Farm continues to diversify and develop, Anthony sees the Panasonic NE-SCV3 playing a key role in the future food offering.
He concludes by saying:
“I can’t believe the difference it’s made to our food offering and our service standards at Lawns Farm. Our customers love the fresh, hot, crispy food, and the significant waste reduction has been great for business. Working directly with Scott and the team at Panasonic, we’ve got some exciting plans for other foods we can do through the NE-SCV3 in the future – just watch this space!”
