Takeaway and hot food fit-out for Edinburgh businesses
Need takeaway and hot food fit-out in Edinburgh? We survey the unit, draw the layout with you and give a fixed, itemised price before anything is ordered.
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.
How do we plan the job?
The survey for takeaway and hot food fit-out in Edinburgh covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around Edinburgh we are usually asked to work on high street units and corner shops and convenience stores and off-licences.
What is included?
- Delivery driver collection point
- Waste and grease management
- Serving counter with display and hot holding
- Kitchen line layout and stainless fabrication
- Extraction canopy and odour control
What should Edinburgh owners check first?
- Odour control on the extraction is often a planning condition.
- Wall finishes must be smooth, washable and non-absorbent in food areas.
- Hot food takeaways need planning permission for the use class, and many councils restrict new takeaways near schools.
In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.

A canopy over cooking equipment, ductwork to a high-level discharge, a fan and usually odour filtration. The spec depends on what you cook.
