Oktay and his team were a pleasure to work with and the green screen studio space was perfect for our one person, head to toe shoot. Was all set up, fully lit and ready to roll upon arrival for a seamless and pleasant shoot. I look forward to working with them again! True professionals. Jon Johnnidis Axios Productions

Second time renting out this space to do a photoshoot and the experience was as good as the first. Always a pleasure dealing with Jarrod, a generous, helpful and thought host.

All About Renting a Commercial Kitchen

Are you planning a food-focused event or preparing to launch your food business? Renting commercial kitchens in cities like London, Leeds, or York provides the perfect solution for street food vendors, chefs, and culinary entrepreneurs who want to hone their skills in professional, well-equipped spaces.

Access to a kitchen with all the facilities needed to prepare batch catering orders, meals for food delivery services, or host cooking classes creates convenience and enhanced efficiency. The cost of leasing a kitchen is also significantly less than how much a start-up would spend setting up and stocking their own space.

Giggster can help you find commercial kitchen space for rent, whether just venturing into the food industry, exploring a new market, or planning a culinary event. Please browse our 3911 kitchens in London, Edinburgh, Surrey, and far beyond to get started.

Incredible Commercial Kitchens Curated by Giggster

Food businesses need somewhere to operate, and kitchens for rent are cost-effective settings. A commercial site provides access to high-grade kitchen equipment, including massive pantries, walk-in refrigerators, and batch production tools. Giggster can help you rent a kitchen that meets your specific needs.

  • A dark kitchen has no seating capacity and doesn't welcome in-house diners. It's a preparation kitchen where you can run a meal-kit delivery service or niche catering business that makes seasonal snacks.

  • Rent a private home with a commercial kitchen for a cooking class. Giggster has a selection of properties that fit the bill, including options with outdoor kitchens!

  • A penthouse apartment flooded with natural light is a perfect setting for a cookbook cover photoshoot or to film a cooking show. Search for a unit with an open floor layout and ceiling-to-floor windows.

  • There's no better setting for a food-tasting event than a private garden in Glasgow. A location with a patio and prep kitchen is ideal.

Amazing Commercial Kitchen Rentals Start at £16/hour

Exceptional Variety & Quality: London has varied kitchens, and Giggster can help you locate the best site. Search our listings to rent a kitchen space; prices start at £16/hour.

Hassle-Free Booking: Giggster makes findings and booking kitchens straightforward; filter your search to find and book a venue with a few clicks.

24-Hour Free Cancellation Policy: If you book a kitchen that doesn't meet your requirements after all or your plans change, Giggster's got you covered with our 24-hour cancellation policy. You can easily cancel your booking within 24 hours of confirmation, provided the reservation is not within 48 hours of your kitchen event.

Platform Protections: After checkout, get Giggster's optional cancellation protection plan or event liability cover. It's wise to have insurance backing to cover your bases in case of the unforeseen.

Top Activities for a Commercial Kitchen Space

Renting a well-equipped kitchen, like Photography, Film, Casting Studio Fully Equipped , can make all the difference for a food business starting up or expanding into new markets. Make informed decisions with our suggestions of the best kitchen and activity or event pairings.

  • Dark Kitchens – Food Delivery Services. A dark kitchen is also called a delivery-only restaurant, cloud kitchen, or ghost kitchen. Rent one if you are a business that gets online orders and provides food delivery without necessarily requiring walk-in customers. A catering company can also rent a dark kitchen as its central production unit.

  • Production Kitchens – Batch Processing. Fully equipped with bulk production equipment, a production kitchen suits food businesses that want to increase their output. Rent it for a bulk order of homemade jam or Christmas cookies for your holiday gift baskets.

  • Restaurants – Cooking Classes. Professional chefs regularly host classes to teach participants how to prepare new dishes. A restaurant is the best setting for these classes; regular participants will enjoy the experience of learning how to cook in a commercial kitchen.

  • Private Home – Cooking Show Film Shoots. Congratulations if you are working on the pilot for a food show or filming your first YouTube cooking video! A private home with a chef's kitchen can get you the money shot.

  • Grocery Stores – Tasting Events. Grocery stores are popular areas where food brands set up pop-ups. They have an existing traffic of customers who can sample and buy the items. Most also have prep areas to set up before distributing your product around the store.

Essentials for a Commercial Kitchen Space

Giggster makes finding a kitchen to rent anywhere in London and beyond straightforward. Your only task is identifying the best space for your food business; our list of essentials can help.

Which commercial kitchen types should you consider? Kitchen types vary. Giggster has batch production venues, dark kitchens, and food prep stations for rent. The former suits a food brand producing large batches of products, while the latter works for a delivery business.

What kitchen equipment does the space have? Many businesses rent kitchens because they provide convenience and access to food preparation equipment. Commercial-grade ovens and refrigerators cost a small fortune, and renting a kitchen allows you to use these gadgets affordably.

Does the kitchen provide any other amenities? It's a plus if the kitchen has a team on standby to help with different tasks. It could be showing you how to use the equipment or helping with food preparation.

Advantages of Renting a Commercial Kitchen Space

Giggster makes finding a commercial kitchen to rent easier. We have restaurants, dark kitchens, and private homes for rent in London and other cities. Before signing the dotted line, knowing how to benefit from a kitchen space and handle its potential setbacks helps.

Advantages

Leasing a kitchen with hygienic floors and pest control management can help street food vendors maintain food handling and safety standards.

Hiring a kitchen keeps production costs low, given that the rent often includes utilities (electricity and gas).

A professional kitchen gives you access to commercial equipment and, in most cases, a standby team to help.

Disadvantages

Kitchens must pass regular health and safety checks by following industry guidelines. Everyone must follow them; sometimes, it's a pain if bending the rules can make your work easier.

Commercial kitchen spaces only let you change a little in terms of the layout and equipment placements.

Cleaning fees and access to different equipment can overshoot your budget if you still need to budget for them.

How to Plan a Commercial Kitchen Event

Search for a well-equipped kitchen for rent; find fully equipped kitchens and restaurants on Giggster. Once you find the perfect space, review these tips to help bring your culinary vision to life.

Pick the Best Space – Choosing a kitchen to rent requires some thought. A kitchen near your clients can enhance efficiency if you operate a delivery service.

Use the Kitchen to Your Advantage – You are at an advantage when entering a well-equipped kitchen. Use the equipment to speed up production and make your work efficient.

Start Cooking Early – A food business should maintain timelines, from food prep to delivery. Get into the kitchen early, even at an additional fee.

Clean Up – The unwritten rule of leaving a space cleaner than you found it applies best to a kitchen setting. Hire a cleaning company, mainly if you use the venue for several days.

How to Save Money on a Commercial Kitchen Space

Commercial kitchen hire can be costly, but not when you book with Giggster; we have selections of affordable food production facilities with everything needed to prepare meals from scratch. With the rental cost sorted, here are other things to remember when renting a commercial kitchen to lower your overall expenses.

Does the rental fee include utilities?

Before booking, contact the venue manager using the chat tab on the listing. Ask what the rent includes: gas, electricity, and other utilities or if they are charged separately. Generally, you'll spend less if the rental fee covers everything.

Consider a space either in the downtown area or on the outskirts.

Like any other event space, a kitchen in the downtown area is more expensive than one in the outlying neighbourhoods. Giggster can help you widen your search to West London and beyond.

Serve an in-season menu.

Use in-season ingredients to keep meal prep costs low unless you need a specific out-of-season item for the recipe. Generally, you'll spend less working on what you can get from the market rather than getting out-of-town shipments.
