About us


Cranks is the realization of a long-standing dream for three mountain bike enthusiasts. For a long time, we have wanted to combine what we love most—cycling and food—and in the spring of 2023, we got the opportunity to make that happen. That’s when Cranks came into being.


Andreas Thomas-Strømsland is the chef in the kitchen. He has over 26 years of experience in the culinary field, both domestically and internationally. He has previously worked at To Rom og Kjøkken, was head chef at E.C. Dahls Pub og Kjøkken for 5 years, and was also in charge of banquets at Clarion Brattøra. He loves artisanal food and creating exciting new flavor combinations.


Egil Finserås is a generous, positive man with a sparkle in his eye. He has run businesses and stores for many years, and is used to taking charge of both large and small projects. He has solid experience in planning, initiating, and generally making things happen.


Stein Erik Stabell Hoel AKA Stuntman Stein is a craftsman by trade and passionate about quality, both professionally and personally. On the bike, he’s happiest when the trails are steep and heading downhill. Around the house, he’s the ultimate handyman, fixing whatever can be fixed, and if it can’t be fixed, he either replaces it or builds something new!


In 2024, Olaaf Brentot joined the team and brought this Beach Bar touch to Cranks, directly inspired by the time he spent living in Tahiti, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. He is a former copywriter and executive creative director in many advertising agencies in Paris, France, but most of all he is a real food enthusiast, always eager to share tips and good recipes.

And he is also the guy behind our social medias.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

DELICIOUS FOOD AND

EXCITING BEERS


A super atmosphere littered with the personalities of the owners! Delicious food (Cranks burger and Cranky fries), a lot of exciting beers (got a fruity Monkey Brew recommended to me by the barman), and friendly staff. The style of the restaurant is also really fun. Definitely recommend!

IN TRONDHEIM


Trondheim's hidden gem? The food is delicious, and should be experienced. If I lived nearby, this would have been a natural choice for a cozy evening or take away. Cranks is high on my list of the best food experiences in Trondheim. Recommended.
