Thorns’ tasty range for Ramsay’s TV series

It is the most sought after part in a TV series. No lines to memorise but numerous close-ups and regularly in shot.

When viewers tuned into Channel 4’s popular Ramsay’s Best Restaurant series to see fiery celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay search for the perfect dining experience, they may have noticed the show’s glamorous ‘extras’ – stylish banqueting tables, chairs, cutlery and crockery courtesy of Thorns Group.

UK’s premier independent supplier served up a delectable range of furniture and tableware for the four restaurants shortlisted for the final cook-off.

Working closely with programme-makers, Thorns delivered a gold banqueting chair with a red pad, rice bowls and Sonata crockery to the Prashad, a family-run Indian restaurant in Bradford.

For family-run Casamia Italian restaurant in Bristol, the hire specialists provided Kings cutlery, brown leather Lorenzo chairs and 2ft square tables. Thorns showcased its Monteverdi cutlery, brown leather Lorenzo chairs, square and rectangular plates and 2ft square tables at the Spanish restaurant Fino.

And for The Milestone gastropub in Sheffield, the supplier provided a silver banqueting chair with a black pad, 4ft and 3ft round tables, Verona crockery and Monteverdi cutlery.

Thorns Group’s Sales Executive, Lois Furlow said: “It has been a privilege to have the Thorns range of catering products featured on the popular Ramsay’s Best Restaurant series. To get the chance to showcase our stylish furniture and tableware on primetime television programme has been amazing.”

Ramsay’s Best Restaurant saw the chef travel the length and breadth of Britain in search of restaurants that deliver gastronomic perfection and excellent customer service.

Restaurants nominated by the public were put to the test by the talented chef. Across eight heats, Ramsay pitted two restaurants representing different cuisines head-to-head with the winners from each heat competing in the semi-finals.

Casamia was crowned Ramsay’s Best Restaurant 2010 after beating Fino in the semi-finals and Prashad in the final on 9th November.
