Casual dining kitchens are fast-paced environments where consistency, efficiency, and atmosphere matter just as much as the food.
These restaurants often combine a variety of cooking styles — from grilling to frying to open-flame chargrilling — creating a heavy mix of grease, smoke, and odours. With locations often in high streets, shopping centres, or mixed-use developments, effective odour and smoke control is critical to keeping both diners and neighbours happy.
Purified Air has decades of experience supporting some of the UK and world’s most recognisable casual dining brands. Our systems are built to handle busy service periods, deliver consistent performance, and meet the requirements of EMAQ and FDA guidance, all while blending seamlessly into new or existing kitchen setups.

High volumes of smoke and grease during peak service
Mixed cooking techniques producing varied emissions
Kitchens located close to residential or retail neighbours, raising odour complaints
EMAQ compliance requirements in urban and mixed-use sites
Space restrictions in plant areas or retrofit projects
