The "Grotto" Pod - Catering Pod

The "Grotto" Pod

Introducing the "Grotto" Pod — a truly enchanting and distinctive retreat inspired by mystical hideaways and hidden grottos...

With its unique design, this pod invites intrigue and curiosity from the first glance. From the outside, the sloped roof descends from left to right, creating a one-of-a-kind silhouette that sets it apart. The pod also features charming circular windows, adding a whimsical touch, and its fully curved side walls form semi-circles at both ends, resembling an entrance to a hidden world.

The "Grotto" is more than just eye-catching. Inside, the quirky design continues with sloping ceilings and curved walls, giving it a cosy yet spacious feel that defies expectations. Despite its compact footprint, the pod boasts a generous internal area of 5.6m², offering ample room for multiple creative layouts and configurations. 

Catering Pod

The Grotto Pod - Catering Configuration redefines the possibilities for outdoor catering, combining the signature charm of the Grotto’s design with the functionality needed for a bustling café, barista bar, burger van, or even a pub.

Inspired by mystical hideaways and designed for commercial efficiency, this unique pod is sure to captivate customers while offering everything your team needs to serve with style and ease.

An Inviting Service Station with Signature Style

From the outside, the Grotto Pod’s distinctive curved roof and semi-circular ends remain a standout feature, ensuring it draws attention in any setting. The usual front door has been replaced with two large, hinged shutters that open wide to create dual serving counters—perfect for taking orders, serving guests, or displaying products.

These spacious countertops offer a professional and inviting service area, allowing you to efficiently cater to a crowd while adding a memorable, whimsical touch to the customer experience.

Efficient Interior Layout for Seamless Operations

Inside, this pod is all about functionality. With a spacious 5.6m² interior, it comfortably accommodates up to four staff members—two cooks and two servers—still with room to move freely. The walls are carefully lined with perimeter shelving and high shelves on the left, maximising storage for ingredients, supplies, and equipment. Under-counter storage and shelving provide additional room for essentials, ensuring everything stays organised and within reach.

A sink with running water is conveniently positioned on the left-hand side, enabling safe and hygienic food preparation. This layout also supports essential appliances, such as a fridge for food storage, a fridge for cold beverages, and a high-quality coffee machine, ensuring you have everything you need to serve a full menu.
