    I was just wondering if anyone knew of or would be interested in renting a kitchen space for the production of a small food business.

    Any ideas will be great!

    Are you looking to rent a kitchen space for your own use, or to rent kitchen space you have for somebody else to use?

    If you're looking for kitchen space yourself, you could try Newmarket Kitchen in Bray:

    Nice find Cormie, there's been a few posters looking for just such a setup.

    If you're not using animal products, I think it's quite easy to get a home kitchen approved, maybe that would be an option starting off?

    I've been meaning to check out Newmarket too, I'm not sure if they have industrial tools or how it works. Let us know what they say if you can :)

    Depends, if you're selling B2B and using raw meat, your legislation is (ridiculously) the same as a slaughter house or meat processing plant. If it's b2c then you just use Haccp regs. Newmarket has a blastchiller, which is essential if you're using any meat or dairy as these are the biggest vectors for food-borne nasties

    No blast chiller mentioned in the equipment list. Would only be a feasible option if you're baking

    I heard recently that one of the entrepreneur support groups in Cork are giving out free use of a commercial kitchen for people to test new products

    Has anyone much experience in dealing with groups like this?

    I currently have a couple of premises which I wanted to do something with and this has caught my eye. Obviously quite a bit of work and investment required to get it up and going but its certainly food for thought...

    As in building a commercial kitchen for rent by a few companies?

    Yea. Has anyone used one?

    The first major obstacle I see is the cleaning

    After a client is finished? Or to actually set up?

    Sorry, after a client has finished.

    I imagine they have to leave it in a certain state, but I would imagine not necessarily ready to go to the next person.

    In the majority of them, you rent a table (with limited space underneath) and that's yours alone, so there's no contamination or mess. Equipment is cleaned after use. You then can rent fridge/freezer/dry storage for an extra charge if you need it

    I wouldn't let that deter you. HourKitchen is a new company and definitely worth the look. I viewed them and mentioned about the blast chiller and they said that if there is enough interest they will look into getting one.

    Cool space.
