The Catering Centre has served Maltese kitchens since 1988. Its head office stands on Mosta Road in St Paul's Bay, in the heart of one of the island's busiest tourist and hospitality areas, and its core business is supplying, fitting and maintaining professional catering equipment. Hotels, restaurants, bars and other food businesses use it as a single place to buy machines, small kitchen items and spare parts.
It is one of the equipment suppliers in our directory of catering companies in Malta, so you can compare it with other firms that serve the food trade.
A showroom that became a service business
The company was set up in 1988 by a group of people who saw a gap in the market for good catering equipment backed by dependable after-sales care. The first showroom opened in July 1988 in St Paul's Bay with a modest display of kitchen equipment and refrigerated machines. Demand for repairs soon outgrew demand for sales, because industrial kitchens need to stay working, so technicians were recruited and sent out with tools and a large stock of spare parts.
Servicing remains a mainstay today. The technical side covers commissioning new equipment, repairing breakdowns quickly and keeping thousands of spare parts on the shelf for fast dispatch. The business is privately owned and run by working directors, and its stated approach is high standards, consistent service and respect for diversity.
What you can buy and what is offered
The main activity is importing quality catering equipment for every part of the food trade. The company represents brands including Dualit, Lainox, Sirman, La Pavoni, Ambach, Bertos, La Minerva, Elframo, OEM, Scaiola, Silko, Williams, Cof and Ali Contract. A section called Tools for Cooking displays thousands of smaller items, which means a hotel or restaurant can stock almost everything a food and drink outlet needs in one visit.
Further services cover installations and repairs, design and layout, spare parts, training and seminars, a portfolio of past work and a quote request form. An export department ships orders to countries as far away as Australia, with North Africa its largest market outside the European Union. Projects that involve ventilation or cooling can be paired with a local air conditioning specialist such as Able Ltd or AC Service Malta.
The team and the three locations
The management team includes David Theuma as Managing Director and Betty Calleja as Chief Executive Officer, with a sales team, a technical department led by Peter Paul Galea, and a stores and logistics department. The Paola and Valletta branches each have their own salesperson.
Three sites are listed. The head office is at 8 Mosta Road, St Paul's Bay. The Paola showroom is on Vjal Santa Lucija, opposite the Addolorata cemetery, with ample parking, and serves the south of the island. The Valletta branch is at 258 Triq San Pawl. Opening hours are Monday to Friday 08:30 to 17:30 and Saturday 09:00 to 12:00.
St Paul's Bay is also a popular base for visitors, so see our hotels in Qawra and St Paul's Bay guide if you are combining a business trip with a stay, and the Malta weather guide for planning, and our things to do in Malta page for free time. Paola is close to the Hypogeum at Ħal Saflieni.
How to start
Anyone who is fitting out a restaurant, bar or hotel kitchen on the islands, or visiting Malta to scout equipment for a business back in the UK (see about Malta for background), should tell the company what they need, such as equipment lists, layout help or a repair, and ask for a quote. For an event rather than a kitchen, an event planner like 242.group may help.
