A full commercial kitchen refurbishment for Olea Grove — a residential care home for young adults in Wingham, Kent.

Care home kitchen refurbishment: Olea Grove, Wingham

Kent Commercial Kitchens carried out a complete commercial kitchen installation at Olea Grove in Wingham, Kent. This residential care home provides specialist support for young adults, and required a kitchen designed to meet both operational and regulatory requirements.

The equipment specification included Rational combi ovens, Blue Seal catering equipment, Sammic food preparation equipment, and Maidaid warewashing. Furthermore, the project was completed within 4 weeks with a total investment of £50,000–£100,000. As a result, the care home now operates a fully equipped, compliant commercial kitchen.

Project scope: residential care home kitchen

The Olea Grove project required a thoughtful approach to kitchen design, balancing operational efficiency with the specific requirements of a care environment. Therefore, the equipment layout was designed to optimise workflow while ensuring safe access and use by kitchen staff. Consequently, the finished kitchen supports the team in preparing nutritious, high-quality meals for residents.

KCK’s experience with care and healthcare kitchen installations made us well-placed to deliver this project. Moreover, our team managed the full process from design and equipment specification through to commissioning and staff training. Our care home kitchen refurbishment work across Kent and the South East demonstrates our expertise in this specialist area.
