Expert Review and  Insights

The Holmes DR393 is the definition of a workhorse. It’s not trying to be flashy; it’s designed to do a job and  do it well for years. Its fully welded, UK-built frame inspires confidence, and  the generous double bowls are exactly what you need to prevent bottlenecks in the pot wash area. It’s a smart, practical choice for any serious commercial setup.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Incredibly Practical: The combination of huge bowls, drainer, and  shelf is spot-on for busy kitchens.
  • Fixed Layout: The left-hand drainer configuration won't suit every kitchen's flow or layout.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a popular tearoom in York, was struggling with a small, single-bowl sink that created constant backlogs during their busy afternoon tea service. They upgraded to the Holmes DR393 to increase their washing capacity and  improve kitchen flow.

"The new sink has been brilliant. Having the two large bowls and  the drainer space means we can get through the washing up in half the time. It’s so much sturdier than our old one, and  the undershelf is great for keeping our cleaning supplies organised."

Robert Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle

The upgrade enabled them to process washing up 30% faster, allowing staff to focus on service and  reducing clutter in the kitchen during peak periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the floor is level before positioning the unit. The feet can be adjusted for minor corrections.
  • Connect the waste outlets securely. The included standpipe can be used in one bowl to allow it to be filled without the water draining away.
  • Fit your choice of taps into the 22mm pre-drilled hole. We recommend professional installation.
  • For maximum hygiene, apply a bead of food-safe silicone sealant along the top edge of the upstand where it meets the wall.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the entire sink unit daily with a soft cloth and  a mild detergent to maintain its finish.
  • Always rinse thoroughly after using cleaning chemicals to prevent surface damage.
  • Avoid using harsh scouring pads or wire wool, as these will scratch the stainless steel surface.
  • Periodically check plumbing connections for any drips or leaks to catch potential issues early.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Sink

Not sure which sink is the right fit for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the perfect unit for your needs.

Material Matters

Always opt for 304-grade stainless steel. It offers the best combination of durability, corrosion resistance, and  hygiene, making it the industry standard for commercial kitchens.

Drainer Position

Think about your kitchen's workflow. A left-hand drainer suits a right-to-left process (placing dirty items on the right, washing, then moving to the left drainer). Match it to your layout!

Bowl Size & Quantity

Double bowls are fantastic for multitasking—washing in one, rinsing in the other. Ensure the bowls are deep and  wide enough for your largest pots and  pans to avoid wrestling with them.

Welded vs. Flat-Pack

Fully welded sinks, like this one, offer supreme stability and  are ready for immediate use. Flat-pack options might be easier to get into tight spaces but can be less rigid over time.

The Upstand Advantage

An upstand is a raised lip at the back that protects your walls from splashes. It's a crucial feature for maintaining hygiene and  preventing long-term water damage.

Being made in the UK and  delivered fully welded isn't just a feature; it's a promise of quality and  convenience. This sink is designed from the ground up to be a long-term, reliable asset for your business. The robust construction means it won't rock, wobble, or weaken over time, even under the relentless strain of a busy commercial kitchen. This inherent stability translates directly into a safer working environment and  a product that you can trust day in, day out. Choosing a welded Holmes unit is an investment in operational peace of mind, saving you the time, hassle, and  potential long-term maintenance issues associated with bolt-together alternatives. It’s a foundational piece of equipment, built not just to meet standards, but to exceed the expectations of professional chefs and  operators.

More Than Just a Backsplash: Why a Built-in Upstand Matters

You might see 'upstand included' and not think much of it, but it's one of those simple features that makes a huge difference in a professional kitchen. Think of it as a small, built-in barrier at the back of the sink. Its main job is to stop water, food scraps, and  cleaning chemicals from splashing or running down the wall behind the unit. This prevents water damage, damp spots, and  the growth of mould over time, which is a massive win for hygiene. It also makes cleaning much easier, as you're wiping a smooth steel surface instead of scrubbing a grimy wall or damaged grout. It's a small detail that saves you big headaches down the line.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: Perfect as the main pot wash station, handling high volumes of large cookware from busy services.
  • Busy Cafés & Bistros: The double bowl and  drainer combo allows for efficient washing and  drying of crockery and  utensils.
  • Schools & Care Homes: An ideal, hygienic solution for large-scale catering operations that demand durability and  ease of cleaning.
  • Central Production & Ghost Kitchens: Provides a robust, high-capacity washing hub essential for food prep and  production environments.
