At CBS, we pride ourselves on supporting clients through reliable catering equipment solutions, and our partnership with Amelia Hall exemplifies this commitment. Located in Belfast and part of The Ringland Group, Amelia Hall recently opened its doors, bringing a fresh and exciting dining experience to the city.
From the beginning, we worked closely with Peter & Ben Ringland from the Ringland Group, to provide the best equipment and service for this new venture. Peter has been a loyal client of CBS for over seven years, and we’ve established a strong partnership through many successful projects. When it came to Amelia Hall, Peter trusted CBS to manage the installation and ongoing maintenance of the restaurant’s catering equipment.
“We’ve worked with CBS for seven years. They do all the maintenance on our catering equipment, and we’ve built a great relationship. They’ve been brilliant throughout the process,” said Peter Ringland. His words highlight the level of trust and professionalism we bring to every project.
Understanding Client Needs
Opening a new restaurant like Amelia Hall involves more than just supplying the right equipment. It’s about understanding the specific vision for the space and tailoring our solutions to meet those needs. We worked closely with Andrew McWhirter, Operations Manager for Amelia Hall, to ensure that everything from the layout to the equipment met the restaurant’s operational requirements.
“What really set CBS apart was their friendly approach and ability to understand how we work,” noted Andrew McWhirter. “They knew exactly what we were chasing after with Amelia Hall, and they were with us every step of the way.”
We take pride in our ability to listen to our clients and offer personalized solutions. For Amelia Hall, this meant providing cutting-edge kitchen equipment that could handle the high demands of a busy restaurant, while also ensuring ease of use and reliability.
Tailored Solutions for Culinary Excellence
Our relationship with Tony Liddell, Corporate Executive Chef of the Ringland Group, was equally important in making sure the kitchen met the needs of the culinary team. Tony has worked with CBS on various projects and once again turned to us for guidance on the best equipment for Amelia Hall.
“I’ve enjoyed working with CBS. I find them very good—they care about my needs and offer solutions to equipment choices I might not have known were available,” said Tony Liddell. “They’ve always done a great job for me, and I would, without a doubt, recommend them.”
At CBS, we understand that the kitchen is the heart of any restaurant, and we’re committed to providing the best tools to help chefs like Tony deliver excellent food. Our consultative approach allows us to recommend innovative equipment that not only meets the current needs but also positions the business for long-term success.
Reliable Support for Long-Term Success
One of the key aspects of our service at CBS is ongoing maintenance and support. We don’t just deliver equipment—we ensure it continues to run smoothly for years to come. For Amelia Hall, this meant providing proactive maintenance, so their operations could continue without disruption.
“CBS handles all of our maintenance, which gives us one less thing to worry about,” added Peter Ringland. “Their service is exceptional, and we know we can always count on them.”
We believe that lasting partnerships are built on trust and reliability. With Amelia Hall, as with all our clients, we are committed to offering long-term support to ensure their equipment remains in top condition. This peace of mind allows business owners like Peter, Ben, Andrew, and Tony to focus on delivering great customer experiences, knowing that CBS is there to back them up.
Looking Ahead
The opening of Amelia Hall has been an exciting project for CBS, and we’re proud to have played a role in its success. As the restaurant continues to establish itself in Belfast’s competitive dining scene, we remain dedicated to supporting its journey with dependable service and high-quality equipment.
This project also strengthens our relationship with the Ringland Group, a valued client with whom we’ve shared many successes. We look forward to future collaborations, confident that our partnership will continue to thrive.
At CBS, our goal is always to provide tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each client. Amelia Hall is just one example of how we work closely with our partners to bring their visions to life, and we’re excited for what lies ahead.
