The Twyford commerical range - ideal for cafés, bars or canteens

Buildings for cafes, bars or canteens

Purpose-designed buildings that are perfect for catering and dining

Most modular building systems have a utilitarian look and feel would look more at home on a construction site than used as an elegant space for dining. Our buildings, by contrast, have vaulted ceilings and full-length windows to provide a beautiful, light and airy space, and create an environment that is inviting and stylish. We can customise the external appearance of your new building to blend in with any setting, whether a country park, to an historic site, or a modern purpose-built urban development.

As our building solution is designed to be flexible, it can be customised to give you exactly what they are looking for, whatever the need. Twyford is ideal for all of the following catering applications and many more:

Café or kiosk
Canteen or dining hall
Kitchens - home style, or professional fully fitted modern
Bar or restaurant
Office or administrative use
Visitor centre or shop

Fast to build

Because we construct our modular buildings off-site we can complete the building project in weeks, which means minimal disruption whether you are adding a catering facility to an existing or busy site, or starting out. With Homelodge, your catering building is up and running much faster than traditional brick-built structures, typically saving you many months. Whether you are replacing an old dilapidated temporary structure, or starting a new venture, buying a building from the Twyford commercial range will help to make sure you are generating income as quickly as possible.

Internal and external appearance

We have a wide range of materials and colours – from subtle rural shades to bright contemporary. Internally you can choose whether you create a natural environmentally friendly feel or go for a more sophisticated modern environment.

Compliant with all regulations

We can also advise you on the latest building and accessibility regulations to ensure that your catering building provides access for all, and offers all the appropriate facilities.

A permanent solution

Our buildings are fully insulated for permanent, all-year-round use. We offer high-impact internal cladding to withstand daily wear and tear, to make sure your pavilion still looks great after years of use.

Should any problems occur within the first year our guarantee will cover the entire installation. Thereafter, to keep your new sports pavilion building in optimum condition, we encourage you to take advantage of our on-going external maintenance contract which includes scheduled visits to inspect and redecorate the external timbers of your building. Taking out the maintenance contract also gives you further peace of mind with a ten year guarantee on the external fabric of your Homelodge building. In fact Faith & Gould in a report to Kent County Council have stated that if our external material is stained every 7 years (we do 6 years under our contract agreement) the walls should be durable for at least 60 years.

Designed for you

We have been designing and building customised café and canteen buildings for over 20 years. Our design and build service guides you through all of the following options to make sure your new café or canteen building meets your specific needs:

Full length windows to mixmise light
French or sliding doors to open up your building to the outside areas
