🚗🍔 The Roadhouse Diner – Sandwich, Kent

📋 Project Details

The project was a full kitchen and bar design and install, and therefore, it took place at The Roadhouse Diner in Sandwich, Kent. As a result, it involved the hospitality sector, and additionally, it lasted six weeks.

🔍 Project Overview

The Roadhouse Diner is busy, so it serves British food, burgers, pizzas, and Polish meals in a relaxed space. Consequently, it is popular with locals, and moreover, it attracts visitors from surrounding areas.

The owners planned a full refurb and relaunch, so they needed a kitchen and bar that could handle many meals while remaining safe and compliant. Therefore, Kent Commercial Kitchens managed the design, supply, installation, and setup, and thus, the diner was ready for fast service.

🛠️ Scope of Works

We built a main kitchen, a prep area, a dishwashing room, a drinks bar, and a full ventilation system. In addition, we coordinated with the client and the main contractor, so all parts of the project stayed on track. Furthermore, this allowed us to ensure smooth workflow throughout the venue.

✏️ Design and Planning

First, we carried out a full site survey, and then we analysed staff movement, hygiene rules, and fire safety regulations. At the same time, we planned the best layout for equipment, and therefore, we selected the right kitchen and bar kit to match the menu and service needs. Moreover, this planning ensured efficiency and safety for the staff.

🔨 Build and Install

🧼 Walls and Floors

We fitted Bioclad wall panels, so the walls are strong, clean, and easy to wipe. Then, we laid Altro vinyl flooring, and as a result, the floors are safe and non-slip. Furthermore, this combination ensures that the kitchen remains hygienic and practical for daily use.

🌬️ Ventilation System

We installed custom stainless steel canopy hoods, and then we added fire-rated ductwork. In addition, we fitted energy-efficient fans to improve airflow, and therefore, the kitchen stays safe, ventilated, and comfortable during busy service.

🍳 Kitchen and Bar Equipment

We set up Rational ovens, and at the same time, we installed Blue Seal fryers, griddles, pizza ovens, and hot units. In addition, we fitted Hoshizaki fridges, chillers, and prep counters. Then, we installed Parry dishwashers with Aqua Mundus water filters, along with sinks and tabling. Moreover, we equipped the bar with coolers, ice makers, storage, and glasswashers. Finally, we tested all items, trained the staff, and therefore, the team could start cooking immediately without delays.

🏷️ Key Brands and Equipment

We used trusted brands, and therefore, the kitchen is strong and reliable. Rational ovens ensure consistent cooking, while Blue Seal fryers and griddles handle heavy use. Bioclad panels keep walls clean, and Hoshizaki fridges provide safe storage. In addition, Aqua Mundus treats dishwasher water, and Parry dishwashers manage high volumes. Consequently, the kitchen is safe, efficient, and built to last for years.

🎉 Project Result

The build lasted six weeks, and yet it finished on time and on budget. Consequently, the diner now has a modern kitchen and bar that can serve food fast and safely. As a result, the team can offer a wide menu every day, and moreover, staff enjoy easier workflow and safer conditions. Furthermore, Kent Commercial Kitchens is proud to have supported the relaunch, and therefore, this project demonstrates how good design and reliable equipment provide lasting value.

✅ Key Points
