What we do

Karma Kitchen provides fully fitted commercial kitchens to rent across six inner-London locations.

Private production units run from 170 sq ft development kitchens through to bespoke central production units of several thousand square feet, with equipment, extraction, waste, business rates and on-site management included in a single monthly rent. Most partners are producing within ten days of signing, with no fit-out cost and no dilapidations liability at lease end.
