Temporary Restaurant, Café & Pub Buildings

Reliable Temporary Building Solutions for Restaurants, Cafés & Pubs

When dining space is reduced by works, or customer demand outstrips your floorplan, temporary restaurant extensions, temporary café buildings and temporary pub buildings keep covers, bookings and bar service flowing.

Our modular clearspan solutions provide long-term dining rooms, bar/servery extensions, winter terraces and lounge spaces. Many venues use them as semi-permanent restaurant or pub extensions, in place for months or years, to increase capacity and revenue without committing to full construction.

These temporary hospitality buildings are installed quickly, reconfigurable bay by bay, and fully managed from survey to de-rig across Surrey, London and the Southeast (with UK-wide projects by agreement).
