Kernel Brewery – Commercial Kitchen & Bar Build, Bermondsey, London (UK)

Jemiclad Hygienic Wall Cladding Supplied to Kent Commercial Kitchens

Project Overview

A New Home for Craft Beer Innovation

Kernel Brewery, a pioneering name on London’s Bermondsey Beer Mile, required a complete commercial kitchen and bar installation to support its expanding venue. Kent Commercial Kitchens were appointed to deliver the full design and build, and we supplied the Jemiclad hygienic wall cladding used throughout the kitchen areas.

Inspired by Kernel’s stripped-back industrial aesthetic, the project needed to combine clean design with heavy-duty performance—especially during high-volume service.

Design & Planning

Practical, Clean, and Planning-Compliant

Working alongside Fleet Architects, Kent Commercial Kitchens developed a layout shaped around:

  • Noise and odour control for nearby residents
  • Efficient kitchen workflow
  • Easy-clean surfaces
  • Professional compliance

Jemiclad was chosen as the hygienic wall solution, providing a durable, seamless surface that supports both planning requirements and daily operational hygiene.

KITCHEN FIT-OUT

Jemiclad Hygienic Wall Protection Installed

We supplied Jemiclad hygienic wall cladding, which was installed across all key areas of Kernel’s new kitchen environment, including:

  • Cooking and prep zones
  • Dishwashing and cleaning areas
  • Food handling and equipment stations

Why Jemiclad Was Essential for This Project

  • Hygienic, non-porous and grout-free
  • Quick to clean during busy service
  • Resistant to moisture, heat, and regular cleaning chemicals
  • Supports high standards required for food production within a brewery setting

Jemiclad’s easy-clean finish significantly improves daily hygiene and ensures the kitchen remains safe and compliant year-round.

OUTCOME

A Clean, Modern, Brewery-Ready Kitchen

The completed kitchen and bar installation delivered:

  • A hygienic, long-lasting wall finish thanks to Jemiclad
  • A clean, modern workspace suited to brewery operations
  • Easy-maintenance surfaces ideal for high-volume service
  • A professional kitchen that supports Kernel’s growth and menu development

The addition of Jemiclad ensures the kitchen maintains exceptional hygiene levels with minimal effort—essential for a venue serving high-demand food alongside craft beer.
