Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Best Feature: The integrated upstand and  welded build offer brilliant long-term durability.
  • Heads Up: Taps are sold separately, so be sure to budget for them.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice, a bustling pizzeria in Manchester, needed to upgrade its cramped and  inefficient washing area to cope with a surge in takeaway orders. Their old sink was struggling to keep up, creating a bottleneck during busy shifts.

"We were constantly playing catch-up with the washing up. The Holmes DR391 sink has given us so much more space and  a better workflow. The large bowl handles our biggest dough trays, and  the undershelf has cleared up a huge amount of floor clutter."

Ben Carter – Head Chef

The new setup has helped them reduce pot wash time by over 20%, allowing staff to focus on prep and  service, directly improving nightly turnaround.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • The sink arrives fully welded, so no assembly is needed. Simply position it in place.
  • Ensure the unit is level using a spirit level, adjusting the feet if necessary for stability.
  • Connect your chosen taps (sold separately) to the pre-drilled 22mm holes.
  • Plumb in the waste outlet and  standpipe, ensuring all connections are watertight.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean daily with warm soapy water and  a soft cloth to maintain its shine.
  • For tougher stains, use a specialist stainless steel cleaner, always wiping with the grain.
  • Avoid using harsh scourers, steel wool, or bleach, as they can scratch and  damage the surface.
  • Regularly check and  clear the waste trap and  standpipe to prevent blockages.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Catering Sink

Not sure which sink is the perfect fit for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider to help you make the right choice.

1. Measure Your Space

Before you do anything else, measure the area where the sink will go. Check the width, depth, and  height, and  remember to leave room for taps and  access to plumbing.

2. Drainer Position

Think about your kitchen's workflow. Does it make more sense to have dirty items on the left and  clean ones on the right, or vice versa? Choose a left or right-hand drainer to match.

3. Bowl Configuration

A single bowl is great for washing large pots and  pans. A double bowl allows you to wash in one and  rinse in the other, which is a requirement for many EHO guidelines. Choose based on your primary tasks.

4. Material Matters

304-grade stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it's hygienic, durable, and  corrosion-resistant. For a busy kitchen, it's a non-negotiable feature.

5. Storage Needs

Does your kitchen need more storage? A sink with a built-in undershelf provides a convenient spot for cleaning supplies or equipment, keeping your floors clear and  organised.

Why an Integrated Upstand is a Kitchen Essential

Ever wondered what that raised lip at the back of a professional sink is for? That's the upstand, and  it's a simple feature that makes a massive difference. Think of it like a built-in, heavy-duty splashback. In a busy kitchen, water inevitably gets splashed around during washing. Without an upstand, that water runs down the back of the sink and  onto the wall.

Over time, this can cause damp, damage plaster, and  create hard-to-clean gaps where grime and  bacteria can build up. The integrated upstand on the Holmes DR391 creates a seamless, waterproof barrier between your sink and  the wall. It makes wiping down surfaces quicker, improves overall kitchen hygiene, and  protects the fabric of your building – a small detail that saves you big headaches down the line.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurants & Pubs: An essential, high-capacity commercial kitchen sink with drainer for keeping the pot wash area running efficiently during peak service.
  • Local Cafés & Bakeries: The perfect size for washing mixing bowls, trays, and  utensils, with a handy drainer for air drying.
  • Schools & Care Homes: A hygienic and  robust catering stainless steel sink unit that's easy to clean and  meets stringent hygiene standards.
  • Catering & Food Production Units: Ideal for prep areas, offering a durable washing station for vegetables, equipment, and  containers.
