The kitchen

Restaurant école has many years' experience operating kitchens. To ensure our clients get the most out of the Restaurant école experience, we have set out specifications for school kitchens, serveries and dining rooms to ensure fresh food can be served quickly and easily on a daily basis!

Restaurant école schools need to deliver food for anything from 300 to 3000 customers. A key part of the process is to ensure that the school in question has the right facilities to deliver to the right amount of customers.

First, we visit the school or college to look at the current kitchen and to work with the school to see what needs to be done to bring the kitchen up to the standard required to prepare and serve fresh food on a daily basis. We also look at the other food areas - the servery and the dining room - to see if these need any enhancement.

If necessary, we will then arrange a further visit from one of our experts to come up with a proposal for the new facilities, including a CAD drawing. The cost of this will vary according to the size and complexity of the project. Once the CAD drawing and presentation is completed, it's up to the school or college to ensure that sufficient funding* is available and to sign off the proposed work. Then, it's all systems are go!

If you have asbestos in your kitchen do not worry about it, talk to our team who will guide you in the complex process of removal.

*In our experience, costings for this work can range from £60,000 to £150,000.

Case studies

*A CAD drawing for a new school kitchen from Restaurant école: Case Study 1, 90KB

This primary school needed to move away from bought-in food, to a total fresh food service solution from Restaurant ecoleTM team . The project came to £60,000 and involved work over a period of 8 weeks - the result is that fresh food can be produced at the highest standards possible on a daily basis.

*A CAD drawing for a new school kitchen from Restaurant école: Case Study 2, 198KB

This primary school was very focused on achieving a totally new feel for the kitchen, resulting in the children being able to witness and be "involved" with the preparation of the fresh food each day. Restaurant ecole'sTM solution delivered this project at £90,000 and took around 10 weeks to complete.
