If you’ve ever visited St Ives, you’ll know food is a big part of what makes it special. From the harbour-side fish and chip shops to the seafood restaurants tucked into the town’s winding streets, the standard of dining here is something locals are genuinely proud of, and visitors come back for year after year.
Running a restaurant in St Ives is rewarding, but it comes with real pressure. The summers are relentless, the footfall is high, and when your kitchen is in the weeds during a busy Saturday service, the last thing you need is your frying equipment letting you down.
That’s where Florigo comes in. We’ve been supplying commercial frying equipment to restaurants and food businesses across the UK for over 70 years, and we understand what a professional kitchen actually needs, not just on paper, but in practice.
It’s not just about selling a fryer. Any supplier can do that. What sets Florigo apart is that we think about the whole picture - your kitchen layout, your service style, your team, your busiest days of the year. Restaurants in St Ives need equipment that can handle the summer rush without missing a beat, and that’s exactly what we build.
Here’s what you get when you work with Florigo:
Whether you’re running a small restaurant with a compact kitchen or a larger venue doing serious covers all summer, we’ll find the right solution for you.
A good frying range is the engine room of a kitchen. It needs to heat quickly, hold temperature reliably, recover fast between batches, and be easy to clean at the end of a long shift. Florigo frying ranges do all of that, and they’re built to keep doing it for years.
We offer 2-pan, 3-pan, and fully bespoke configurations, so whether you’re frying fish to order for a small dining room or powering a high-volume service through a packed Cornish summer, there’s a range that fits. Every Florigo frying range gives you:
And if the standard configurations don’t quite fit your kitchen, we’ll build it to your spec. It’s that simple.
We know that no two restaurant kitchens are the same. Some are compact, some are sprawling. Some are doing 50 covers a night, others are handling 300 during peak season. That’s why Florigo offers a full range of commercial fryers, l so you can get exactly what your kitchen actually needs, rather than making do with something that almost works.
Our restaurant fryer range includes:
Every fryer we supply, new or pre-loved, goes through the same standards. Efficient oil management, fast heat recovery, stainless steel build, and the reliability your kitchen depends on.
Getting the food right in the kitchen is only half the job. The moment it hits the pass, it needs to look good and stay at the right temperature, because a great dish that arrives lukewarm or looks like an afterthought won’t do your reputation any favours.
Florigo supplies hot food display counters, heated servery equipment, and food display cabinets that are built for exactly this. Practical, hygienic, and designed to show your food off properly.
For St Ives restaurants, where reputation travels fast, and a bad review travels even faster, presentation matters. Florigo’s display equipment helps you get it right, every service.
This one isn’t optional. Any restaurant running commercial frying equipment needs a certified kitchen fire suppression system, full stop. Florigo is a certified ANSUL installer, which means you’re getting the gold standard for kitchen fire safety, installed properly, by people who know what they’re doing.
Our systems activate automatically, are designed specifically for commercial frying environments, and are installed in line with current UK safety regulations. We also handle the ongoing servicing and maintenance, so your system stays compliant and ready, not just on the day it goes in, but every day after that.
If you’re not sure whether your current setup meets the required standards, get in touch, and we’ll help you work it out.
Buying equipment is one thing. What happens when something needs attention six months down the line is another. At Florigo, we’re not a supplier that disappears once the installation is done. Our UK-based service team is there for the long haul, with genuine parts, scheduled servicing, technical support, and emergency repairs when you need them.
For a St Ives restaurant that’s flat out during summer and needs everything working perfectly, that kind of aftercare isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s essential. We offer nationwide coverage, so wherever you are in Cornwall, support is never far away.
We’ve worked with some genuinely brilliant food businesses over the years, from Rick Stein’s restaurants to award-winning fish and chip shops and national food operations. What they all have in common is that they needed equipment they could trust, day in, day out, without drama.
That’s what Florigo delivers. And it’s what we’ll deliver for your St Ives restaurant too.
If you’re thinking about new frying equipment, whether that’s a full frying range, a replacement fryer, or a bespoke setup designed around your kitchen, we’d love to have a conversation.
Contact us today, and one of our team members will get back to you. We’ll listen to what you need, take a look at what you’re working with, and find the right Florigo solution for your restaurant in St Ives.
