Overview
Honest Burgers prides itself on using top-quality British beef and the finest potatoes to provide the best-tasting burgers on the market. This design phase proposal looked at a new production facility to cope with the company's growing demand, whilst ensuring consistent product quality, optimising production efficiency and supporting the brand’s rapid expansion while adhering to the highest food safety and operational standards.

Project delivery
Working within the constraints of an existing building footprint, the project brief required detailed design solutions to accommodate multiple operational areas. These included:
-
A dedicated chip production line
-
Burger preparation and assembly zones
-
A fully equipped prep kitchen
-
Refrigeration units for goods-in and goods-out processes
A key element of the design was the inclusion of a training facility to support staff development, alongside viewing corridors that allow safe visual access into production areas without disrupting workflow or compromising hygiene.
The layout also incorporated essential welfare facilities, such as a breakout room, changing areas, and restrooms, ensuring a comfortable and compliant working environment for staff.
Detailed room data sheets were produced for each area, specifying wall and floor finishes, drainage requirements, and suggested plant locations, ensuring clarity and consistency across the design package.

Conclusion
WFPL’s design team delivered a comprehensive layout that balanced operational efficiency with staff wellbeing and training needs. While the client was impressed with the overall design solution, it was ultimately determined that the chosen building was not the right long-term fit for the business.
