Route 83 Diner at Paulton’s Park

Paultons Park, home of Peppa Pig World, is a family-run theme park, situated in Hampshire. Having first opened their gates in 1983, the park has seen numerous upgrades – the most recent involving a brand-new three-and-a-half-acre area called Tornado Springs. In addition to new rollercoasters, a driving school and a Cyclonator, the team at Paultons saw the development as an opportunity to expand the park’s food offering. Stephen Lorton, Commercial Director explains;

“Tornado Springs was built very much to enhance the rest of the park’s offering. We also recognised it was an opportunity to increase our offering of food and beverage around the park – to offer greater variety, at greater capacity”, and so the team opened a new diner, Route 83.

Andrew and Stephen summarised their experience collaborating with HCE on the design of Route 83, with Andrew commenting;

“The final kitchen that HCE has delivered on this project is absolutely superb. What we’ve achieved through the summer period would not have been possible without that kitchen, that’s all from HCE. The equipment and the flow of the kitchen is second to none”, and Stephen agreeing;

“The key benefits of working with HCE was definitely the flexibility, and the understanding exactly what we were after and what we required. I’d absolutely recommend HCE. Their ability to deliver on time and per the quotation, with no surprises, made the whole process significantly easier.”
