Community
We are a shared-use commercially licensed community kitchen in Lancaster with a diverse group of talented members that includes caterers, bakers, food trucks, market stands, private chefs and food product businesses.
The Cookhouse is a great place to launch your food concept. When starting a food business, the expense of building or leasing a commercial kitchen can be a huge barrier. Additionally, the operating costs of running an active kitchen are very high. Crowded Cookhouse can dramatically reduce your startup and/or operating costs and can greatly reduce the risk of starting a new food business.
Designed to Accommodate
Prep, Cook, Pack, Store and More!
- Culinary entrepreneurs, caterers, food products – anyone who needs a production kitchen
- Bakers who need deep ovens, lots of prep space and a large commercial mixer
- Culinary instructors who are hosting cooking classes
