Catering equipment

Care home kitchens run continuous service across breakfast, lunch, evening meals and snack rounds. Our gastronorm containers, bain maries, stock pots and urns keep that service running when the main kitchen is out of action or when the facility needs additional capacity. Equipment delivers clean and ready for use, and we collect when it is no longer needed.

Dining furniture

Care home dining rooms need furniture that is easy to clean and stable. Our banqueting chairs and folding tables work for temporary dining setups during refurbishment and for seasonal events where the regular room is unavailable. Crockery, cutlery and glassware are available for short-term functions and staff dining.

Planned works and new openings

Kitchen refurbishments, fire remediation and new-facility fit-outs create gaps that hire equipment fills without capital commitment. We supply an equipment package for the duration of the works and remove it when the permanent installation is complete.

Common questions

Can care homes get a credit account?
Yes. Credit accounts with 30-day terms are available for approved care operators and healthcare groups. Contact the team to apply.
Do you supply equipment during kitchen refurbishments?
Yes. We supply a full temporary kitchen package or individual items to maintain meal service during planned works. Equipment arrives before the works begin and we collect when the permanent kitchen is back in use.
How quickly can you deliver?
Next-day delivery is available on most routes for standard items. For a full kitchen package, three to five days notice gives us time to confirm stock and plan the delivery properly.
Do you deliver across England and Wales?
Yes, from 11 regional depots. The website calculates your delivery charge at checkout based on your postcode.
