Currently housed in a separated, key fob controlled room in order to manage food hygiene requirements, the kitchen comprises a main kitchen room and a storage area with dry goods and fridge storage. There are various fixed requirements for the space to be housed, including specific power requirements and water and drainage supply. The current kitchen is in a building without a mains gas supply, so all units are electric.
People
Multiple collectives of residents have used the space, and it is used regularly by organisational members, including groups such as the Barking and Dagenham Good Food Collective. There are also individual residents that use the space for making products for sale.
Maintenance & Upkeep
The kitchen space requires stringent protocols and procedures to maintain the hygiene standards required. Regular cleaning is required, as well as servicing and upkeep of the fixed equipment. The space works well as an open access facility, but compared to other spaces in the warehouse it requires greater oversight and staff time to ensure that things are kept to a good standard and managed in keeping with food hygiene regulations. .
