Commercial Kitchen Design and Planning in Kent

Advantage Catering Equipment, based in Folkestone, plans and designs commercial kitchens for restaurants, hotels, pubs, schools, care settings and community venues across Kent and the South East. Every project starts with a site visit and ends with a working, compliant kitchen. We tailor the service to what your project needs, whether you are replacing a single item or fitting out an entire foodservice operation.

Design and build is delivered with our sister company, Kent Commercial Kitchens, so one team covers the whole job: planning, design, build and installation, and on to maintenance and service.

What our commercial kitchen design service includes

We take a project from concept to a working, compliant kitchen, and we can handle as much or as little as you need:

Commercial kitchen design for restaurants, schools, care homes and village halls

We design and equip kitchens across every part of the foodservice market, including:

  • Restaurants, hotels, pubs, cafes and bars
  • Schools, colleges and other education settings
  • Hospitals and care settings
  • Central production units and food production
  • Community venues such as clubs, churches and village halls

How a kitchen design project works

Every project starts with a site visit. We look at the space, the practicalities of installation and how the kitchen needs to work, then agree a clear design brief with you. From there we follow a structured foodservice design process, which can include:

  • Foodservice consultancy and a defined design brief
  • Concept and detailed kitchen and bar layouts
  • Mechanical and electrical drawings and elevations
  • Equipment specifications
  • Ventilation, refrigeration and finishes
  • Cost evaluation, programming and scheduling
  • Project management and installation

Planning a new kitchen and not sure what you need? Our new kitchen shopping list is a good place to start, and if you would rather spread the cost, see our catering equipment leasing options.
