  • Taps Not Included: Remember to factor in the cost of a suitable mixer tap.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice Pizzeria in Bristol needed to upgrade their wash-up area. Their old, self-assembled sink was wobbly and  too small for the large pizza pans they used, creating a constant bottleneck during service.

"We were constantly fighting for space, and  the old sink felt like it was about to give way. The Holmes sink is solid as a rock and  the drainer is a lifesaver. Everything is just... easier now."

David Chen – Head Chef

The new, sturdy sink and  dedicated draining space has cut their pot wash time by around 20%, freeing up staff to focus on prep and  service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the unit on a firm, level floor to ensure stability and  proper drainage.
  • The unit arrives fully welded, so no assembly of the frame is required.
  • Connect your waste pipe to the sink's outlet, using the included standpipe for overflow and  plugging.
  • Install your choice of 22mm monobloc mixer tap (sold separately) into the pre-drilled hole.
  • Check all plumbing connections are watertight before first use.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down daily with a soft cloth and  a mild detergent solution to remove grime.
  • For tougher, dried-on food or light water marks, use a non-abrasive, cream-based cleaner.
  • Always rinse the sink thoroughly with clean water to remove any chemical residue.
  • Never use steel wool, wire brushes, or harsh abrasive powders as they will scratch the surface.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Catering Sink

Not sure which sink is right for your space? Here’s what to consider before you buy.

Measure Your Space

Double-check your available width, depth, and  height, remembering to leave room for plumbing and  easy access around the unit.

Left or Right Drainer?

Think about your kitchen's workflow. Where do dirty dishes arrive and  where do clean ones go? Choose a layout that matches this flow.

Assembly vs. Welded

A fully welded sink like this one is stronger, more stable, and  saves you significant installation time compared to flat-pack options.

Tap Type

Consider what kind of tap you need. Standard mixer taps are versatile, while pre-rinse spray taps are brilliant for blasting food debris off plates.

Material Matters

For any food environment, 304-grade stainless steel is the industry benchmark for hygiene, corrosion resistance, and  long-term durability.

Solid bit of kit. Came fully built which was a relief, just had to plumb it in. Really happy with it.

Great catering sink with drainer 1200mm, the undershelf is a massive help for storage. Just wish it came with taps, but easy enough to sort.

Why 304-Grade Stainless Steel is the Chef's Best Friend

You might see 'stainless steel' everywhere, but in a professional kitchen, the 'grade' makes all the difference. This sink uses 304-grade stainless steel, which is the industry standard for a very good reason. It contains a higher percentage of chromium and  nickel compared to cheaper alternatives.

Think of it like the difference between a standard raincoat and  proper GORE-TEX hiking gear. Both might keep you dry in a light shower, but only the GORE-TEX is built to withstand a torrential downpour. Similarly, 304-grade steel is designed to resist the 'bad weather' of a commercial kitchen – harsh cleaning chemicals, acidic foods like lemon juice and  tomatoes, and  constant knocks – without pitting, rusting, or staining. This is what makes it truly 'commercial grade' and  ensures it remains hygienic and  durable for the long haul.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurant Kitchens: A reliable, easy-to-clean station for pot wash areas where space and  hygiene are paramount.
  • Local Cafés & Bistros: The perfect size for daily washing up, with an undershelf for storing cleaning chemicals or equipment.
  • School & College Canteens: A durable and  hygienic sink that can handle high volumes of washing up during peak lunch hours.
  • Mobile Catering Units & Food Trucks: A compact yet robust sink solution that provides essential washing facilities in a limited space.
