Planning on building a new commercial kitchen? If you’ve never designed and created one of these spaces before, then you may be unaware of the true cost of a commercial kitchen.Â
To help make the process easier, we’ve put together this commercial kitchen price guide. Here, we provide a ballpark price for each piece of equipment you require. We also discuss how you can spread the cost of a commercial kitchen with the help of our Total Care solution.
Commercial catering equipment prices
Pieces of commercial catering equipment are specifically built and designed to withstand the pressures of even the busiest services. As a result, high-quality commercial appliances can be expensive.
To give you an idea of just how expensive these pieces of catering equipment can be, here’s a commercial kitchen price guide:
- Combination ovens – A vital piece of equipment in any commercial kitchen, a new combination oven can cost anywhere between £3,000 and £22,000, depending on the size and the model you choose
- Commercial hobs – If your kitchen will make lots of soups and sauces, you’ll need a commercial hob. Small portable options are available, but big gas hobs with six burners can cost up to £4,500
- Salamander grills – Even small appliances like salamander grills can be costly. Options are available for a couple of hundred pounds, but market-leading salamander grills can cost up to £4,500
- Bratt pans – These appliances are surprisingly expensive, and some bratt pans can cost up to £7,000
- Bain Maries – An essential component in many kitchens, bain maries cost around £200. However, you’ll likely need several if you run a large commercial kitchen
- Dishwashers – Another vital piece of equipment in any commercial kitchen, even the smallest and cheapest undercounter dishwashers cost around £1,000
- Fridges and freezers – Although cheap upright fridges are available for around £700, these are only suitable for small premises. Larger options can easily cost upwards of £2,000
When the cost of every appliance you’ll need is added together, the total cost of a commercial kitchen can easily exceed £50,000. This cost can be much higher if you need large items or require premium options.
Financing options if upfront costs are too high
