Hospitality & Catering

Running a busy pub, restaurant, café or catering operation brings a unique set of practical challenges - and chain products have a surprisingly central role to play in keeping things safe, secure and compliant. At English Chain Direct, we have put together a dedicated range of hospitality and catering chain solutions designed specifically for the demands of the sector, drawing on decades of chain manufacturing expertise to help front-of-house and back-of-house operations run more smoothly.

Keep Kitchens Cool and Pest-Free

For commercial kitchens and catering environments where doors and service entrances need to stay open for ventilation and access, our chain fly screens offer an elegant and highly effective solution. Suspended in a dense curtain from a hanging rail, these fine chain screens act as a physical barrier against flying insects without blocking airflow or creating an obstruction for staff passing through. Easy to install and built to last in demanding environments, they are an increasingly popular alternative to plastic strip curtains - particularly where a cleaner, more professional appearance is important. Kits are available for standard single doorways and can be configured to suit wider openings.

Secure Your Beer Garden and Outdoor Spaces

Outdoor furniture theft is a persistent problem for pubs and bars, particularly during the summer months when beer garden furniture represents a significant investment. Our garden furniture security kits and garden security kits provide a straightforward and cost-effective way to deter opportunist theft, using robust chain and padlock combinations to tether tables, benches and chairs to fixed anchor points overnight. Galvanised and weather-resistant options are available, making them well suited to permanent outdoor installation where exposure to the elements is a concern.

Gas Cylinder Safety - a Legal Requirement

Commercial kitchens that use LPG or other bottled gas are required to ensure cylinders are properly restrained to prevent accidental tipping. Our gas cylinder retaining chains provide a simple and compliant solution, securing bottles safely to walls or fixed structures. Straightforward to fit and available in a range of configurations, they are an essential and low-cost addition to any catering environment that relies on bottled gas.

Cooker Safety for Professional Kitchens

Our cooker stability chain and anti-tilt chain assembly are designed for use with commercial and domestic range cookers, preventing dangerous forward tipping during use - a particular concern in busy kitchens where equipment can be subject to accidental knocks and heavy-handed use.

Crowd Management and Demarcation

For bars, restaurants and event spaces that need to manage queuing, define areas or create temporary barriers, our post and chain kits are available in a range of colour options including black, white, red and white, and green and white. Clean, professional and easy to deploy, they are ideal for entrance management, queue control and cordoning off sections of a venue.
