Battersea Cats and Dogs Home

Space Catering Equipment

To design a brand new catering facility to occupy two new arches that have been leased from Network Rail and sit directly beneath the Battersea Park over ground train line.

The facility was to consist of a commercial kitchen, serving area and dining room making it a standalone space for the incumbent catering company to function independently from the rest of the Battersea building.

It was important for the facility to not only serve visitors of Battersea Dogs and Cats home but also the public meaning access was required via both sides of the train line. Aside from the catering areas, the restaurant was to include customer toilets, plant room and a staff changing facility.

The kitchen required catering stores, prep area, cook line, pass and wash-up facility whilst the servery needed to accommodate a chilled grab and go offer, impulse items, hot meal of the day, soup, cakes and bakes and a premium coffee offer.

The dining space was to accommodate in the region of 80 covers and consist of a mixture of furniture to provide an interesting and comfortable space for customers.
