With over 40 years’ experience in specifying and designing commercial kitchens, Nelson has amassed considerable expertise across all sectors of the catering and hospitality industry.

Our client base is diverse and includes award winning restaurants, hotels, pubs, workplace canteens, schools, care homes and church halls. Whoever the client and whatever their requirements, we strive to find the best possible solution, always within the allotted budget and timeframe and, in urgent situations, we do our utmost to expedite the process.

Our specialist consultants work in tandem with our designers to explore the best options for each project. Both our consultant and design teams are fully conversant with every aspect of legislation surrounding safety, emissions and FOG and have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the equipment market. And, with an ever-increasing focus on energy efficiency, our familiarity with evolving technology across all types of equipment has never been so important.

Our design process is calculated to ensure that every last detail is considered and that nothing is overlooked. Based on how you use, or intend to use, your kitchen, we will explore all possible layout permutations and select the best equipment to bring your ideas to fruition.
We’ll take into account how the kitchen will be used during a single day, a month and a year and we’ll factor in safety and functionality as well as ensuring that we create a logical and streamlined workflow so that your chefs can work comfortably and efficiently. The clarity and detail of our design will enable you to visualise how your finished kitchen will work and allow you to fine-tune the layout to the point of perfection.
We’ll discuss your menu ideas, talk about covers, speak with your chefs, take measurements and check essential services. We will appoint a project manager who will liaise with your contractors, attend meetings, check progress, oversee vital manufacturing and keep on top of schedules. When the preparation work is completed, the PM will supervise the delivery and installation.

We even take measures to ensure the installation process is seamless and stress-free, we securely consolidate all your equipment during the weeks prior to installation meaning that only one delivery is necessary. This is immediately followed by installation and commissioning, carried out by our dedicated team.

Finally, we provide thorough training to ensure your entire team is totally familiar with the new kit so that cooking can commence.

Since 1994, we have been impressing our clients with our proactive, integrated approach to the projects we undertake. Our industry expertise comes from hiring people who have years of front-line experience in the catering, commercial, and hospitality sectors. This enables us to create interiors that work perfectly for your business.

No matter how big or small your project is, we apply the same three core principles. Firstly, we find out how your company works. Secondly, we identify what your customers want. And thirdly, we use intelligent design to create a beautifully branded solution to suit your needs, timescale, and budget.

Our industry expertise and attention to detail allow us to provide a fully interior-designed venue. Every inch of your venue is tailored to your business requirements, with the right equipment and furniture, perfect positioning, and everything your staff needs to do their jobs quickly, easily and efficiently. Plus, we offer service and maintenance support post-warranty and PPM contracts.

We work from back of house to front, using research, planning, and computer-aided design to create integrated spaces that streamline your processes. From deliveries arriving at your back door to customers arriving at the front, Dawnvale venues are designed to make operations more efficient and more profitable.

As we only work on venues in the hospitality sector, we have unrivalled industry knowledge on the optimal operational layout for your bar, kitchen, restaurant, or club. We have the experience needed to implement creative and effective solutions.
