Scope of Work
Project Duration: Multi-phase project across 2024
Installed: Final fit-out completed in 2025
Location: The Edge at Elmfield, Witney
Type of Project: Commercial Kitchen Design & Installation
Overview
This case study reflects the evolution of a trusted service relationship with the owner of The Edge hospitality group. This partnership demonstrates our capacity to grow with our clients and deliver end-to-end solutions, from a simple fan motor replacement to a full commercial kitchen installation.
We initially connected with the client when his kitchen extraction fan failed at The Edge at Lils. We were called back to repair a Rational Combi Oven at The Edge Eatery after a successful motor replacement.
In 2024, they approached us again — this time with an exciting new venture: a full kitchen installation for a new site in Elmfield, Witney. We were brought in early during the planning phase and played a key role in providing technical expertise when designing a commercial kitchen tailored to the needs of a busy, modern café and eatery.
Our Process
Kitchen Extraction System
- Installed a new, appropriately sized kitchen extraction system for the Elmfield cookline.
- Repurposed the existing, undersized extraction system by relocating it to another café site, ensuring sustainable use of equipment.
Full Equipment Supply & Installation
We supplied and installed a wide range of high-performance kitchen appliances and food service equipment, including:
- Cooking & Refrigeration Equipment:
- Rational 10 Grid iCombi Classic Oven + Stand
- Lincat Table Top Fryer & Griddle
- Polar 3-door Counter Fridge, Double Door Fridge, Single Door Freezer
- Tefcold Undercounter and Counter Freezers, Low Level Fridge, Atom Maxi
- Caterlux Induction Hob
- Buffalo Glasswasher, Hobart Undercounter Dishwasher
- Prep and serving tables, sinks, and mixer taps
- Beverage & Service Tools:
- Smoothie blenders, bar blender, Polar Ice Machine
- Full range of crockery, including skillets, pasta bowls, and wine glasses
Every item was chosen with efficiency, durability, and service flow in mind.
Project Highlights & Benefits
Early Engagement = Better Design
Being involved from the design phase allowed us to create a tailored solution that maximised space and utility without compromise.
Reuse & Sustainability
Instead of discarding an old extraction system, we relocated it to another of the client’s cafés where it better fit the cookline, saving costs and reducing waste.
Flexible Financing with IwocaPay
The purchases were made through IwocaPay, demonstrating the flexibility and accessibility of our services for growing businesses.
Future-Proofing a Growing Brand
By supplying top-tier equipment like Rational and Tefcold, this kitchen is ready to handle high demand, ensuring smooth operations as the business scales.
