Should I choose a wall table or a centre table for my kitchen?

Wall tables are designed to sit against a wall or partition, with the rear upstand helping to keep the junction clean and preventing items sliding into the gap. Centre tables have uniform edges on all four sides and are intended for island positions or back-to-back runs where access is needed from more than one side. If you're unsure which suits your layout, it's worth considering how the table will sit relative to your other equipment and whether the rear edge will be accessible.

How do I choose the right width for my run?

The right width depends on the available run length in your kitchen and the tasks the table will handle. A narrower table works well as a single prep station, while wider options suit longer prep runs or sections where multiple team members work simultaneously. It's worth measuring the space carefully, allowing for adjacent equipment and any access requirements, before committing to a width.

Are these tables suitable for a high-volume kitchen environment?

Yes, these tables are well suited to busy commercial kitchens and handle the demands of regular heavy use without issue. For operations that require bespoke fabrication, integrated sinks, or heavier-duty construction, it's worth looking at the broader fabrications range to ensure the right specification for the volume of work involved.

Product Description

Parry's 700mm deep stainless steel preparation tables are a straightforward, well-built fabrication designed for everyday commercial kitchen use. Available in a range of widths and in two configurations — wall tables with a rear upstand, and centre tables with uniform edges on all four sides — the range is practical to specify and simple to integrate into most kitchen layouts. Each table comes with two undershelves fitted as standard, making use of the space beneath the work surface without any additional fitment.

The 700mm depth makes a noticeable difference in day-to-day prep work. Standard 600mm tables can feel restrictive when working with full-size gastronorm trays, large chopping boards, or when two team members are working the same station. The extra depth gives a more comfortable working area and reduces the risk of items being knocked off the front edge during a busy service. The two undershelves below keep frequently needed containers, trays, or equipment within easy reach without cluttering the worktop or requiring additional shelving units nearby.

Stainless steel construction performs well under the hygiene demands of a commercial kitchen — resistant to moisture, straightforward to wipe down between tasks, and easy to deep-clean at the end of service. Practical points worth noting:

Wall configuration suits perimeter runs; centre configuration suits island or back-to-back layouts
Rear upstand on wall tables protects the junction between table and wall from moisture and debris
Two undershelves provide accessible below-counter storage without additional fixings
Range of widths allows the table to be matched to available run length
Delivered fully assembled as standard

These tables suit most commercial operations — from small independent kitchens to larger catering environments. For sites that require heavier fabrication, integrated sinks, or bespoke configurations, other options within the fabrications range may be more appropriate.

If you're weighing up which configuration or width makes the most sense for your layout, we're happy to talk it through before you place an order.
