The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which opened in April 2019, is the largest club stadium in London. With over 60 food and drink outlets serving tens of thousands of fans during football matches and major events such as NFL, boxing, rugby, and concerts, the stadium’s catering operations demand high performance and reliability.

Reynolds, regional executive chef for Levy in London, said: “We’re very proud to be the first stadium in the world to have double stacked iHexagons. They’ve taken up the space of two standard combi ovens, but they’re doing the work of four.”

With only a 15-minute window to serve thousands at half time, the iHexagon’s speed and precision have proven ‘invaluable’. The iHexagon combines steam, convection and microwave energy across six racks, enabling rapid, high-quality food production, essential in environments with short service windows and high footfall.

Ian Green, head chef of retail and culinary development at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, added: “On an event day, we’ll probably put about 4,500 to 5,000 products through the iHexagons. It used to take 20 to 25 minutes to produce what we now do in five to seven minutes. That’s allowed us to cook fresher, better-quality food for the fans.

“Now we’re producing a lot more food - an increase of around 18 to 22%. We’ve reduced queue times, improved quality, and seen sales go up. [It has translated into] an approximate 30% increase in revenue. We’re probably saving around 16,000 litres of oil over a season. The energy use is lower, and we waste less because we can cook more on demand.

“It’s all pre-programed. Chefs just select the product, drop it in, cook, repeat. The cleaning system is automatic too - no gloves or goggles needed. Every game we seem to be putting more and more product through the iHexagons. They really deliver for us. For speed, ease of use, reducing electrics, reducing chemicals. And to be fair, it does what it says on the tin.”
