Named the “Roobox”, the kitchens are either housed in temporary metal buildings the size of a shipping container or temporarily set up in an industrial building.
They have appeared in the London districts of Camberwell, Dulwich, Canary Wharf, Battersea, as well as Hove near Brighton as a way to help meet demand for takeaways in areas where popular brands do not have restaurants. Each pod has room for six or seven chefs from different restaurants who work alongside each other making food solely for takeaway.
