Food Preparation

We hire food service equipment and accessories. The preparation and cooking of food is usually only half of the job, with displaying, serving and keeping food fresh and warm being equally as important. Read More

At Caterhire we rent a range of equipment including bain-maries, hot cupboards, carving units, chafers and soup kettles.

To ensure meals retain heat and texture, check out our Bain Marie 4 Well with Hot Plate & Gantry Lights. It features a bottom hot holding cupboard along with a heated gantry and a warm servery unit designed for both heating and serving food. The hot cupboard can keep up to 220 plates warm. It takes 4 x 6” full inserts and lids or 8 x 6” half inserts & lids.

For serving joints of meat, look no further than the Heated Carving Unit 2 Lamp Our table top heated carving station not only ensures the attractive presentation of joints but also maintains them at the ideal serving temperature. Constructed from stainless steel, this unit is equipped with two lamps to generate heat from above, while below, there is a heated metal surface designed for placing the joint. As a tabletop unit, it is intended to be positioned on a counter or table for optimal functionality.

Our Jack Stack Plate Rack is a popular hire option high volume banqueting events. It’s ideal for pre-storing a large number of plated meals, helping to conserve space in the kitchen and facilitate an efficient dinner service.
