Even though the kitchen will be temporary it must still meet with EHO and Health & Safety regulations. PKL Group, a supplier of temporary kitchens and catering equipment to the events industry, is able to offer support in this area.

Make sure that your location is both interesting and functional. Disused buildings, roof top venues, shopping centres, boats and old warehouses have all been used to host pop-up restaurants.
You may want to capitalise on the large footfall created by an event already happening in an area by setting up a pop-up facility near to its location. You would obviously need to ensure that you have the relevant permissions from the landowner and authorities first though!

Pop-up restaurants allow you to be creative and have proved an excellent way for companies to help raise brand awareness. The more creative you are, the more press coverage your restaurant may receive. Many pop-up restaurants are developed around a theme with a menu to match, while others are used by companies or chefs to try out new recipes and dishes.

As with any short-term event, planning is an essential part of the process. There are many different factors and considerations that will need coordinating. To view a range of standard kitchen designs suitable for use in a pop-up restaurant click here.
It is always best to involve the council at the earliest possible opportunity. Please do not forget that you will need to get your licenses organised early. They can offer helpful advice!
It goes without saying that the quality of the food plays a huge importance in the success of the restaurant. In our experience, restaurants that have achieved the most success are the ones that have reduced their menu (remember this will also save you money as it reduces potential food wastage and kitchen size!).
Many pop-up restaurants use creative and innovative strategies to advertise their existence. This can include heavy use of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook or the formation of clubs (such as a supper club). Other pop-up ventures build their reputation with a series of events and rely solely on word-of-mouth to add to their exclusivity.
Your site will need to have adequate services for power, water and waste. If you are unable to provide this then PKL can help to provide water and waste tanks, LPG Gas and generators. For more information regarding product features please click on the links below:
