Kitchen supplier CKS says hiring a kitchen to trial in the wake of the smoking ban is a popular option for concerned publicans.

“On the one hand, lots of sites are expanding their outside eating areas – which means they’ll have more tables, which in turn will put extra pressure on the kitchen,” said managing director Mark Kingston. “At the same time, many are looking to upgrade their foodservice to compensate for the business they lose from kicking out the smokers.

“Either way, they are looking at major investment in the kitchen and many will need a temporary kitchen to tide them over.”
