Kitchen porters and TR19 cleans across the Home Counties
Country hotels, village gastropubs, corporate-park catering, vineyard restaurants. Six counties, 36 towns covered.
The Home Counties are the second-largest commercial kitchen market we serve, after London. The kitchen estate is markedly different: country hotels in listed buildings, village gastropubs with retrofitted extract, vineyard restaurants in converted barns, and corporate-park catering at sites like the Slough Trading Estate and Magna Park.
We adapt the service model accordingly. Country-hotel TR19 work often requires extract designers familiar with AONB-bordered planning constraints; Slough Trading Estate runs centralised facilities procurement; vineyard restaurants peak in early-summer and book TR19 ahead of season; Heathrow-corridor hotels run 24/7 patterns more typical of airline catering than restaurant work.

Home Counties — frequently asked
Which Home Counties do you cover? +
Surrey, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire — all six. Travel time from London means we can mobilise within 24-48 hours for most jobs.
Do you cover beyond the Home Counties? +
We also cover the Heathrow corridor and parts of Sussex and Oxfordshire on a case-by-case basis. Phone the office for specific addresses.
Are rates the same as London? +
Pricing reflects travel and the local market. Service rates are typically within 5-10% of equivalent London rates; staffing rates match London for inner Home Counties, with a small premium for outer towns.
Do you handle country-hotel kitchen extract work? +
Yes — we have specific expertise in heritage-building kitchen extract, including planning-constrained extract upgrades in AONB-bordered venues.
