Preparation tables
Preparation tables are the foundation of any commercial kitchen workflow. Whether you need a centre table for multi-staff prep, a wall bench for space-efficient operation, or a corner unit for tight layouts, stainless steel work surfaces offer durability and hygiene essential to food handling.
Built for restaurants, hotels, catering facilities, and institutional kitchens across Ireland and the EU, these tables are designed to withstand daily heavy use whilst meeting food safety standards.
Preparation tables provide dedicated work surfaces for food cutting, assembly and portioning. Suits kitchens, delis, bakeries and catering operations. Choose between fixed worktables with storage, compact fold-down models, or standalone chopping blocks based on space and throughput requirements.
When selecting a preparation table, consider your kitchen layout, staff numbers, and primary prep tasks. Centre tables suit high-traffic zones where multiple chefs work simultaneously; wall benches maximise space in smaller kitchens; corner units fit awkward configurations. All stainless steel surfaces resist corrosion, are easy to clean, and comply with commercial kitchen hygiene codes.
Check table dimensions against your available floor space and ensure height (typically 850mm) suits your team. Many units feature undershelves for ingredient storage, reducing clutter on the work surface. Stock rotation, prep speed, and plating organisation all benefit from having the right table size and placement.

Fixed worktables are 850mm tall, standard for food-preparation lines. Chopping blocks vary; check individual product specs for exact height.
Are fold-down tables suitable for daily prep?▾
Fold-down models suit occasional or mobile use with 120kg capacity. For continuous daily prep, fixed worktables with polyethylene tops are more durable.

Polyethylene tops on all models. Food-grade, easy to clean and maintain, naturally resistant to moisture and resistant to knife damage.
Will these fit a standard 600mm kitchen line?▾
