Bloom Urban Warehouses: The secret ingredient for London’s caterers

Built for the way F&B and catering businesses operate

Every element of a Bloom unit caters for the operational realities of food, beverage and catering businesses. Enhanced power capacity supports commercial kitchen equipment, industrial refrigeration and food production lines. Floor loadings are engineered for heavy use, clear internal heights of up to 5.5 metres give operators real flexibility in how they configure and rack their space. And level-access electric loading doors make goods-in and goods-out seamless for high frequency deliveries and collections.

Being in central locations, with enhanced power and EV chargers also allows occupiers to use green, electric fleets, or cargo bikes for their operations. Our units range from around 2,000 to over 10,000 sq ft, and can be combined to form larger spaces giving food, beverage and catering businesses plenty of options at every stage of growth. A smaller unit may suit a specialist producer or a brand ready to step out of shared kitchen facilities. A larger footprint can house a full contract catering production facility, a multi-brand dark kitchen operation, or a food and drink distribution hub.

Locations that work as hard as you do

Bloom’s portfolio sits predominantly in Zones 1, 2 and 3, and the benefits of that extend beyond proximity to customers. For a catering company servicing City events, a prep kitchen which needs to deliver to its central London restaurants, a dark kitchen serving multiple delivery zones, or a food brand fulfilling wholesale and direct to consumer orders, inner London locations mean faster turnaround, shorter supply routes and more responsive operations.

We know that it’s just as important to remember what those locations mean for your people, the team which is making sure your business is growing and succeeding. Our well connected urban sites are straightforward for operational and production staff to reach by public transport. This is a significant factor in recruitment and retention in a sector where shift patterns and early starts are the norm. For the growing number of food, beverage and catering businesses that also maintain sales, marketing or HQ functions alongside their production space, Bloom’s inner London addresses carry professional credibility and make the commute straightforward for office based employees too.

ESG and quality of build

All Bloom developments target BREEAM Excellent and EPC A/A+ ratings, with solar panels, air-source heat pumps and EV charging built in as standard, alongside real-time energy and water monitoring to support occupiers’ own sustainability reporting. For food, beverage and catering operators looking for a base that reflects their values as well as their operational needs, Bloom Urban Warehouses delivers on both.
