The Commission
Airside, Terminal 4 Heathrow Airport
- 175 cover Restaurant open daily 6am-11pm in one of Europe’s busiest Terminals
- Latest example of several Airside projects we have delivered
- Group project managed all aspects of the installation
“The Airedale team, along with their (supply chain) partners, overcame everything that we threw at them. They worked even on a Sunday morning. Clearly Airedale has strong relationships with their preferred equipment partners and they were able to flex this relationship to ensure that The Commission was delivered on time.”
Operations Director-Delaware North Contract Caterers



Our Group has completed numerous Airside projects, with The Commission at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 4 being one of our most complex. Terminal 4 is home to 35 Airlines and has over 10 million travellers passing through it in an annual basis. Catering for such a high footfall whilst ensuring the provision offered these travellers with freshly prepared, high quality food was a key consideration.
We worked with both Drake & Morgan and leading contract caterers Delaware North to design and install an open kitchen that could produce an serve food from 6am-11pm, serving everything from breakfasts through to main meals.
Project delivery was restricted to only three days, which was made even more challenging when a legacy dishwasher needed to be replaced on the second day. Working throughout the night and a Sunday morning and utilising the strength of our partnerships with our supply partners, we overcame all these challenges to deliver this exciting Restaurant that has become a particular highlight for all passengers using this Terminal.
