Far Rockaway is an American-style restaurant and bar in London | London, serving New York-inspired cuisine. Vision Commercial Kitchens was briefed to create a high-performance kitchen in a restricted footprint, aligned to the venue’s urban New York aesthetic.
Brief: big New York flavours, tight back-of-house
Kitchen space was limited versus the required equipment list. The pizza oven was mandatory, alongside a Josper Grill and general cookline—demanding careful planning to fit everything within the small BOH and still deliver the menu’s pace and quality.
Design choices & extraction coordination
Vision selected a Cuppone Evo corner pizza oven, giving exceptional pizza output while maximising space. With the pizza oven, Josper Grill and other heat-loads, extraction requirements were significant; Vision liaised closely with the M&E consultants to achieve a comfortable working environment and compliant airflow.
Authenticity & creative delivery
Vision’s team worked with chefs trained in New York to understand the offer and keep it authentic. The client installed over 2,500 skateboards across the ceiling to reinforce the urban look—calling for a kitchen designer who could match that innovation and creativity with a precise, efficient back-of-house.
