Hire professional catering equipment from Expo Hire for events across England and Wales. We supply tested cooking, refrigeration, and food service...
Expo Hire provides catering equipment for professional kitchens, event caterers, and hospitality businesses across England and Wales. This collection covers items for food preparation, cooking, refrigeration, and beverage service. All equipment undergoes inspection and testing before despatch to ensure it meets commercial standards.
Our inventory includes heavy-duty appliances for temporary or permanent kitchen setups. We stock gas and electric cooking equipment such as six-burner ranges, convection ovens, and 60cm flat-top griddles. Ovens are available as static, convection, or combi models. For frying, we offer single and double tank deep fat fryers. Holding food at temperature is possible with hot cupboards and chafing dishes, which come in various sizes and capacities.
Maintaining food safety is crucial. We offer various refrigeration units, including upright fridges and freezer units. For front-of-house, refrigerated display cabinets keep food cool and visible. Prep tables come in multiple sizes; our stainless steel units range from 1.2 metres to 1.8 metres in length, providing robust work surfaces. Mobile hand wash sinks help maintain hygiene standards in any setup. We also supply commercial dishwashers and glasswashers for efficient clean-up.
Event caterers, pop-up restaurants, and temporary kitchens frequently hire our equipment. Film sets, festival food stalls, and corporate hospitality operations also benefit from a reliable supply. Consider your menu, guest numbers, and site power availability when selecting equipment. Specifying correct quantities and types of appliances is key for an efficient operation. Expo Hire delivers and collects equipment directly to and from your venue.
Expo Hire does not charge a security deposit. A free minor damage waiver covers minor damage and loss. Excessive or negligent damage is charged at 10 times the hire price. Full details in our terms and conditions.

Yes, all LPG equipment is supplied without gas bottles. If you need gas bottles, we recommend ordering 13kg LPG bottles for patio heaters and 19kg LPG bottles for all other LPG equipment. You can also hire a wrench for attaching the gas bottles to the equipment. Please ensure that the gas bottle you supply is compatible with our standard bayonet fittings.
We recommend booking as early as possible to ensure availability. For larger or more complex orders, such as weddings or large corporate events, booking several weeks in advance is advisable to ensure you get exactly what you need.
