Temporary Kitchen for Wildlife Nature Reserve

During a major 6-month redevelopment of their on-site restaurant, the Norfolk Wildlife Nature Reserve required a robust temporary kitchen facility that could maintain full catering operations for staff, volunteers, and daily visitors.

They partnered with On-Site Kitchen Rentals Ltd to supply a custom-configured solution that met their demanding output and hygiene standards while being unobtrusively integrated into the natural environment.

Challenge

With the main kitchen and restaurant undergoing a complete renovation, the reserve faced a significant operational challenge: how to continue serving high volumes of meals daily without compromising food quality or service experience.

Key requirements included:

  • High-output capability to meet peak visitor season demand
  • Minimal environmental disruption
  • Compliance with all food safety regulations
  • Rapid deployment and full operational readiness
  • Reliable functionality for a 6-month duration, across varying weather conditions
We pride ourselves on meeting every client's specific requirements. Each of our kitchen installations is a bespoke solution designed around your needs.
