Container Cafés — Built, Fitted, and Delivered by Phil

A container turned into a fully fitted café unit — extraction, plumbing, stainless steel work surfaces, electrics. For independent food operators, construction site catering, and event traders who need a commercial kitchen that moves with them.

What a Typical Café Build Includes

Café container builds are more complex than a standard office conversion — plumbing, extraction, and food-safe surfaces all need to be right. Phil quotes every café build individually based on your brief. Conversions start from £5,000 on top of the base container price; café builds with full catering spec are priced individually.

Phil builds the container — your equipment supplier, environmental health officer, and local authority determine the specific fit-out requirements for food service. Phil works to your brief.

Structure & Services

  • 20ft (most common) or 40ft for larger canteens
  • Commercial-grade ventilation and extraction (critical for food service)
  • 3-phase or single-phase electrical supply to spec
  • Plumbing connections — water in, waste out (customer connects to mains)

Internal Fit-Out

  • Stainless steel work surfaces (food-safe)
  • Under-counter or standalone fridge/freezer space (customer supplies equipment)
  • White hygienic wall panelling options
  • Service hatch or full-width opening front, exterior paint or graphics wrap

Food Business Registration — Your Responsibility

Phil builds the container structure. Licensing, food hygiene certification, and environmental health registration are the operator's responsibility. Your local authority environmental health officer will advise on specific requirements before you trade. Phil builds the unit to meet the brief you provide — work with your EHO early so the spec is right first time.
