The Coffee Club – Commercial Kitchen & Servery Design 🍽️

From Initial Layout to a Fully Functional Kitchen & Bar Installation

🏗️ Project Overview Modern Cafe Kitchen Design & Build

We were pleased to partner with Guildcrest Homes, a new client, to design and install a Modern Cafe Kitchen Design & Build of a commercial kitchen and customer-facing servery for a new hospitality space.

Initially, our team provided a preliminary kitchen layout based on the client’s architectural plans. However, it quickly became clear that the space originally allocated for the kitchen wouldn’t support efficient workflow or meet hygiene standards—particularly when accounting for essential zones like dishwashing and dry storage.

Thankfully, as the client is also the builder, they were able to adapt quickly. An extension was constructed, adding 20 square metres to the space—making room for a separate dishwashing area and storeroom, crucial for maintaining good kitchen practice and operational flow.


📐 Design & Planning

Once the revised layout was approved, we finalised a bespoke kitchen and bar design optimised for:

  • Clear separation of cooking, prep, wash-up, and storage areas

  • Smooth service flow between the kitchen and front-of-house counter

  • Durability, hygiene, and ease of maintenance throughout the space

This allowed for the creation of a practical and professional environment, suitable for both staff efficiency and customer-facing presentation.


🛠️ Installation & Fit-Out

We delivered a full kitchen and servery installation, including:

  • Commercial Kitchen Extraction Ventilation System – providing effective removal of heat and fumes, while complying with building regs and safety standards

  • uPVC Hygienic Wall Cladding – using Jemiclad for an easy-to-clean, durable finish

  • Slip-Resistant Safety FlooringPolyflor commercial-grade vinyl for safety and longevity

We also installed:

  • A full stainless steel kitchen and back bar

  • A custom customer servery counter, including Cossiga heated and ambient display counters

  • All catering and refrigeration equipment, tailored to suit the venue’s daily needs


👨‍🍳 Equipment Highlights

Installed kitchen and bar equipment included:

  • Lincat commercial cooking suite

  • Maidaid dishwashing and glasswashing equipment

  • Scotsman ice machine

  • True refrigeration (fridges and freezers)

  • Panasonic microwave for reliable, high-speed reheating

The result is a clean, functional, and professional kitchen servery area that meets the needs of both staff and customers.
