Takeaway and hot food fit-out across Devon
From Newton Abbot to Exmouth, we deliver takeaway and hot food fit-out for independent owners and multi-site operators across Devon, with fixed prices and a dated programme.
A takeaway fit-out is a compact commercial kitchen with a customer counter and a waiting area, built to food hygiene standards and with extraction that satisfies planning conditions.
What is shopfitting like in Devon?
Typical Devon jobs for this service involve pharmacies and healthcare premises, as well as convenience stores and off-licences. We check the lease, access and service capacity before pricing.
South West high streets rely heavily on independent and seasonal trade, especially in coastal towns, so fit-outs are often scheduled to finish before the spring and summer season.
What does the work include?
- Serving counter with display and hot holding
- Kitchen line layout and stainless fabrication
- Extraction canopy and odour control
- Wall cladding and coved flooring

Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
- Odour control on the extraction is often a planning condition.
- Wall finishes must be smooth, washable and non-absorbent in food areas.
