Public sector kitchen design and installation in Kent
Councils, heritage venues, community facilities, training kitchens and central production units — delivered to public sector procurement standards, with the accreditations that frameworks require. Recent projects include Towner Gallery, Eastbourne.
Why Kent Commercial Kitchens
What public sector clients need from a kitchen contractor
Triple-ISO accreditation for procurement compliance
ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental) and ISO 45001 (health and safety) — the only Kent commercial kitchen design-and-install firm certified to all three. These are the accreditations that LA procurement frameworks, academy trusts and public sector contract conditions require. We hold them; most of our competitors don't.
Heritage and listed-building experience
Maison Dieu in Dover is a Grade I listed building — the most restrictive heritage designation in England — forming part of a £10.5m restoration programme. We designed and installed a full commercial kitchen and banqueting facility within the building's strict constraints. Public sector heritage commissions require contractors who understand listed-building working methods. We do.
Central production unit capability
Finish and Feast CPU in Croydon and Condimaniac in Chatham are both central production unit projects — high-volume, HACCP-critical environments serving multiple outlets. CPUs require a different approach to design: bulk production workflows, blast chilling, regeneration and distribution logistics. We've delivered at this scale.
Ashford Borough Council — named client
Ashford Borough Council is on our client logo strip for a reason. Public sector clients benchmark contractors carefully. Being a named and retained supplier to a local authority is the kind of reference that matters when public bodies are evaluating who to appoint.
