Buffet Bar

The bar area and through corridor are trimmed to a high standard. A common theme in all public areas of the catering vehicles is a carpet/moquette 'cocoon' in tan material extending from the bar counter to the floor, up the opposite wall and over the ceiling.

In the bar back area extensive use is made of melaminium trim panels. These consist of an aluminium backing plate onto which has been bonded 'rustic elm' wood veneer with a melamine protective coating.

As a contrast, the contoured bar counter, feature rail and trim panels - which serve as access panels to kitchen equipment - are in a common harmonising colour which is different in each of the six catering vehicles (48401 – 48406) that have been built.
