Modular Catering Solutions for Merseyside
As the hospitality sector in Liverpool continues to evolve, businesses are increasingly looking for ways to expand their physical footprint without the delays and disruptions of traditional bricks-and-mortar builds. Adacon supplies the P600 modular building system, which is manufactured in our dedicated facility and delivered to your site in a near-complete state. Unlike shipping container conversions, our buildings are purpose-built for occupation, featuring high-performance insulation, plastered internal walls, and professional finishes as standard.
Typical Café Configurations
The flexibility of the P600 system allows for various layouts depending on your headcount and service style. You can explore these layouts in detail at our modular cafés overview page.
Single Module (13m²)
Ideal for 'grab-and-go' coffee units or small takeaway kiosks. These are popular for installation in smaller urban footprints or as satellite units in retail car parks. A single module typically houses a service counter, a small prep area, and integrated storage.
Double Module (26m²)
By joining two P600 modules side-by-side, we create a spacious environment suitable for a small seating area alongside the kitchen. This configuration is often chosen for park settings or independent bistro start-ups where a degree of indoor dining is required.
Four Modules and Above (52m²+)
For larger commercial operations, such as staff canteens, school hubs, or full-service restaurants, we can connect four or more modules. These can be arranged in a single storey or stacked two storeys high with internal staircases to maximise floor area on a tight site. This scale allows for dedicated kitchen zones, multiple WC compartments, and extensive customer seating.
Standard Features and Customisation
Every Adacon P600 module is built to a high commercial standard. The base unit price includes fully insulated floor, walls, and roof, along with plastered and painted interiors. We provide laminate flooring, LED lighting, and multiple electrical sockets as part of the standard package. You can customise the exterior by selecting cladding colours wall-by-wall, ensuring the building fits the aesthetic of your Liverpool location.
For hospitality use, we offer optional extras such as commercial-grade non-slip flooring, WC and shower compartments, and air conditioning. While we provide the structural shell and basic electrics, specialist catering equipment and extraction systems are typically installed by the customer's fit-out team to their specific menu requirements.
Indicative Pricing for Liverpool Projects
The cost of a modular café depends on the total number of modules and the internal specifications requested. For a professional catering installation, price bands typically range from £25,000 to £75,000. This range covers everything from a simple single-module kiosk to a larger, multi-module café with integrated facilities.

Delivery and Logistics in Liverpool
We deliver to all parts of Liverpool, including the City Centre, the Baltic Triangle, Aintree, and the Wirral. Most modules arrive via the M6 and M62 corridors, transported on flatbed trailers. Given the nature of Liverpool’s geography, we are experienced in navigating various site constraints.
- City Centre Sites: For locations with restricted space, we can coordinate crane-in services to place modules over existing boundaries or onto rooftop podiums.
- Residential and Suburbs: In areas with narrower streets, we conduct thorough access surveys to ensure the delivery vehicle can reach the designated spot.
- Port and Industrial Zones: Our modules are well-suited for high-traffic industrial sites requiring robust canteen facilities.
Please note that customers are responsible for ensuring a level, prepared base (such as concrete pads or a slab) and for the final connection of services including water, drainage, and electricity to the consumer unit.
Lead Times and Local Regulations
One of the primary advantages of our system is speed. While traditional builds can take months, our lead times are typically measured in weeks. We often have 'Ready to Order' stock units available for even faster delivery. Regarding planning permission, the requirements for a modular café vary depending on the site’s current usage and the duration of the installation. We always recommend that you contact Liverpool City Council or your relevant local planning authority to confirm the necessary permissions before placing an order.
