Six inner-London production kitchens, positioned where your clients are. Fully fitted, fully managed, and built to the standards corporate catering demands.
Features
Six inner-London sites chosen for proximity to corporate office clusters, institutions and event venues. Less time in the van means lower delivery costs and more reliable service windows.
Guaranteed Electricity at 20.1p per KWh versus a market rate of 26p. Waste, water, business rates and pest control included in your rent. The hidden costs that erode catering margins are built out of the model.
So you're not on-site management, kitchen porters, maintenance and 24/7 support included. You run the kitchen. We run everything around it.
Included as standard. Renewable energy, on-site biodigestors, cooking oil converted to biofuel. The sustainability infrastructure your corporate clients are starting to require, already in place, at no additional cost to you.
Lease structures that reflect the pace of corporate catering contracts. If you win a new client in a different part of London, we can help you move or expand without starting from scratch.

FAQs
This is something we'd discuss with you before you sign. Our standard lease terms start at a minimum of two years, and for leases above two years break clauses can be negotiated. If your production requirements are likely to change significantly during your lease — because of contract wins or losses — speak to the team before signing and we'll structure the terms to give you as much flexibility as possible. We understand that catering businesses operate in a contract-driven environment and we'd rather have that conversation upfront than leave you exposed mid-term.

Your monthly rent includes electricity at our negotiated rate of 20.1p per KWh, water, waste management, pest control, business rates, WiFi, security, on-site management and kitchen porter service, and all equipment maintenance.
