Wagamama, Odyssey
Location: Odyssey Place, Belfast
Opened: May 2026
For the opening of Wagamama at Odyssey Place, Belfast, Gecko Catering was involved from the planning stages through to the completion of the restaurant kitchen and service areas. The project began with the preparation of equipment layouts and elevations, followed by M&E schedules and multiple site visits to coordinate the equipment, services and practical requirements of the new restaurant.
CAD drawings and project coordination
Before equipment was installed, Gecko produced commercial kitchen layouts and elevations to establish where the different pieces of equipment and working areas would be positioned. This was followed by M&E schedules and several site visits as the project progressed, allowing the equipment services requirements to be coordinated with the team on site.
Preparation, Wash-Up & Storage Areas
The preparation areas were equipped with commercial refrigeration and bespoke stainless steel sink tables, providing dedicated prep space. The wash-up area included a pass-through commercial dishwasher with bespoke inlet and outlet tables, designed to suit the dishwasher and the available space. Gecko also supplied chrome wire racking for the restaurant’s storage areas, providing a practical solution for storing various dry goods.
Bar
The bar was fitted with bespoke stainless steel bar units, together with various commercial refrigeration and a glasswasher. The stainless steel fabrication was produced specifically for the bar layout - allowing to accommodate all the required equipment and to fit neatly within the available space.
The heart of the restaurant – the cooking line
Gecko supplied and installed a range of professional cooking equipment designed to cope with the demands of a busy Wagamama restaurant.
The cooking equipment included:
- Combi ovens
- Commercial fryers
- Wok cooker
- Commercial griddles
- Pasta cooker
Alongside the main equipment, Gecko manufactured and supplied bespoke stainless steel stands, bespoke undercounter hot cupboards and various stainless steel items, including dividers, utensil holders and other items to complete the kitchen.
Equipment supply, installation and ongoing service
The Wagamama Odyssey Place project brought together several parts of Gecko's service - from kitchen layouts and M&E equipment schedules through to the delivery and installation of commercial catering equipment and bespoke stainless steel units.
Gecko also provides an ongoing service contract for the supplied equipment, giving the restaurant continued support after opening.
