Schools require reliable catering equipment to serve hundreds of students daily under tight time constraints. Roundstone Catering recently took on the challenge to design and fit a new kitchen for Wilton Campus, part of the OneSchool Global network (formerly Focus Schools Trust). Working alongside the talented team at Office Concepts, we transformed an empty pod system into a high-performance culinary workspace.
Smart Designing Beats Big Budgets
The client gave us a strict brief. We needed to slash the project budget significantly without compromising on build quality or appliance performance. While a tough challenge, our design team loves solving complex puzzles.
We achieved these massive savings by utilizing our own bespoke in-house fabrication. For example, our team manufactured custom floor cupboards that seamlessly integrate with the premium Lincat bain maries. We also supplied a bespoke counter that looks fantastic, improves staff workflow, and shaved thousands of pounds off the initial budget estimates.
Premium Appliances Meet Clever Engineering
We refuse to cut corners on core appliances. To ensure the school could deliver consistent, nutritious meals, we packed the new layout with top-tier catering equipment, including:
Cooking: Two market-leading Rational combi ovens for maximum versatility.
Warewashing: A heavy-duty Maidaid D-Range pass-through dishwasher for rapid cleanup.
Cooling: Energy-efficient Sterling refrigeration units to keep ingredients fresh.
Airflow: A custom-built Roundstone ventilation and extraction solution.
Our design tweaks turned the modular pod system into an instant, highly efficient extension. The school now enjoys a premium workspace at a fraction of the expected price. The kitchen staff uses the space daily, and the client is absolutely delighted with the final result.
