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.
