At Modulate, we’re all about creating spaces that not only serve a purpose but do it with a bit of flair. This 6m by 3m fish and chip shop container, delivered to Boundary Bend, Victoria, is a prime example of how we think outside the box—or in this case, how we reimagine the box to suit your needs.

This fish and chip shop is kitted out with three large servery awnings on gas struts, making opening up a breeze, though we can swap these out for electric actuators for an even smoother experience. Below each awning, you’ll find foldable servery benches made from a durable UV and weatherproof composite panel, designed to withstand just about anything the weather throws at it.

Around the back, we’ve installed vermin-proof vents that line up just right with the kitchen equipment, helping to keep things cool, especially overnight. Plus, there’s an LPG gas regulator and a setup including Colourbond roofing, gutters, and downpipes, because we believe in getting the details right. And to top it off—quite literally—we’ve mounted an exhaust fan on the roof for the commercial rangehood and fixed a 3.5 KW split system air conditioner on brackets to keep the inside comfortable, no matter the weather.

Once you step inside, you’ll be struck by the sheer amount of space. Thanks to our wider container design, there’s room to move, cook, and serve without feeling cramped. Right by the door, there’s a knee-operated hand basin (with a soap dispenser and towel dispenser right beside it) to meet food health and safety standards without fuss.

Across the way, there’s a double dish sink and a 50l hot water system, with copper piping that looks pretty neat, if we do say so ourselves. And because we take care of the big picture as well as the nitty-gritty, you can rest easy knowing your kitchen will meet Australian food health and safety standards from day one.

Under the rangehood, you’ll find two gas-powered deep fryers and a three-burner griddle cooktop, ready to turn out all the favourites. The back wall is a clean sweep of white subway tiles around a stainless steel splashback—classic, clean, and completely customisable with your choice of tiles.

We’ve squeezed in underbench fridges and freezers to save on space, not to mention an upright display drinks fridge and another underbench freezer for extra storage. There’s also a residential-style dishwasher, a three-door underbench fridge, and extra bench space for a coffee machine—complete with water and power setups.

The floor is covered in light grey R11 anti-slip vinyl, making clean-ups easy and keeping the space safe. Walls and ceiling are insulated with 50mm EPS panels, keeping the heat out and the cool in, with all the wiring hidden away. To light things up, we’ve installed downlights in the ceiling and our signature black pendant lights over the servery, making sure everything looks just as good as the food tastes.

We’re pretty chuffed with how this fish and chip shop for Boundary Bend, Victoria, has turned out and think it’s a great example of what we can do here at Modulate. If this sparks any ideas, or if you’re just keen to learn more about our modular solutions, why not give us a shout?
