A new kitchen building complete with catering equipment for your school
The KitchenPod is a modern, hygienic, permanent school kitchen building, which is supplied complete with catering equipment in an easy-to-install pod. The KitchenPod is especially suited to primary schools with no current kitchen or those looking to upgrade their existing catering facilities and has been developed in response to achieving government based nutrition standards in primary school meal provision.
KitchenPods are available in a number of different designs with a wide choice of equipment layouts to suit your primary school's catering requirements and can be supplied with facilities for:
- Regeneration of pre prepared school meals
- Regeneration and cold preparation of school dinners
- Cold preparation and hot production of school meals
KitchenPods comply with food hygiene and health and safety standards as well as building regulations, and due to their size, are likely to be fast tracked through planning regulations as a permitted development. KitchenPods are built to be secure and lockable and are either powered by electric or gas. PKL KitchenPods are available in a wide range of finishes, allowing them to blend in seamlessly with existing school buildings. External finishes include an attractive wood cladding and a wide range of brick slip solutions that can be designed to meet the existing style and colour of buildings on site. We can deliver KitchenPods to your school at a time that suits you including at weekends and during holidays.
