OPEN HATCH
Made for the place, pace and people.
Open Hatch is developing mobile kitchens for festivals, markets, production sets, workplaces and events. Each service is shaped around the location, timings and people being fed, with flexible menus informed by years of shared cooking and service.
From busy festival service to long production days, the food fits the occasion.
WHY MOBILE KITCHENS
“After years in which movement and autonomy was restricted, I want to develop a business designed around choice, independence and the ability to go to where the work is.”
MOVE WITH DEMAND
Travel between events, venues, recurring locations and commissioned projects as opportunities change.
STAY INDEPENDENT
Avoid relying on one landlord, one pitch or one customer base, with greater control over where and how the kitchen operates.
LET TRADING FUND GROWTH
Each kitchen is designed to recover its launch costs, strengthen the operation and contribute towards future units.
