Commercial Kitchen Rental in Chester: FAQ
How much does it cost to rent a commercial kitchen?
Commercial kitchen rental in Chester typically costs £15-80/hour for shared spaces, £100-600/day for full-day hire, or £1,000-8,000/month for dedicated dark kitchen units. Prices vary significantly by location, with London commanding premium rates.
What licences do I need for a food business in Chester?
You need to register your food business with your local council at least 28 days before opening (free). You'll also need a Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate (£30-100), public liability insurance (minimum £5M), and the kitchen premises must have a valid food hygiene rating.
What is a dark kitchen?
A dark kitchen (also called ghost kitchen or cloud kitchen) is a commercial cooking space with no customer seating, built purely for delivery orders through apps like Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats. They cost 60-70% less to start than traditional restaurants.
Can I rent a kitchen by the hour?
Yes, many commercial kitchens offer hourly rental, typically from £15-80/hour depending on location and facilities. This is ideal for caterers, meal prep businesses, and operators testing new food concepts before committing to monthly rental.
