Astreea UK will be at HRC – Hotel, Restaurant and Catering Show at Excel London

In this episode we speak to Nico Tréguer, co-founder of Roberts and Treguer and The Culpeper Family. Nico spoke about founding the group alongside his longtime friend Gareth, having had a vision for bringing more nature spaces to cities, the planned extension of The Buxton in Spitalfields, and how the site’s storytelling engages guests and the local community, how the Culpeper Family’s core sustainability ethos helped it secure its B-Corp status and why hospitality has a responsibility to educate and innovate when it comes to sustainability.

The Hotel, Restaurant and Catering show is the destination to experience product innovation. For more than 86 years Hotel, Restaurant & Catering (HRC) has stood at the forefront of hospitality innovation, welcoming thousands of visitors every year to test, taste and discover the latest products from the finest suppliers in the market.

Astreea will be there to showcase their all-season proof Igloos, perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining and an all-round showstopping garden feature. 

To make things more exciting there will be a brand-new Igloo on show, the Igloo Plus! This new design will go beyond a semi-permanent structure as the panels are more permanent than the other Astreea covers. Making it perfect for restaurants, pubs, and other establishments to have a more permanent structure in their outdoor areas. 

Also making an appearance will be the best-selling Oslo Igloo. Rather than fitting panels like the Plus, the Oslo cover is a robust PVC that is fitted over the Igloo frame. A detachable zipped door is included, or the new lockable sliding door can be retrofitted onto the frame enabling easy access. 

Both Igloos are weatherproof and can withstand up to 30mph winds. Other benefits include vintage lighting, coat hooks, 2-year warranty and UV protection.

Why invest in an Astreea Igloo? 

At Astreea we understand that providing customers with outdoor seating is a challenging prospect. The Astreea Igloo gives you somewhere warm and dry for customers to eat outside and will entice visitors to choose your venue over others.

Turn your investment into profit by charging a premium for the Igloo experience – covering your investment costs in no time! As well as extra seating for your guests, most would lavish the experience and paying extra wouldn’t be a problem but a privilege.

Where to find us at HRC

We will be on stand T704 near exit N10. The show is open from 21st-23rd March. Make sure you come and visit the team to talk through your requirements! In the meantime, if you have any queries or would like to arrange a meeting with one of our sales managers, you can contact us on 0330 2200671 or email info@astreeauk.co.uk.
