Large-scale catering starts with the right production kit. Our cooking equipment range covers commercial ovens, hobs, and specialised units for high-volume batch cooking. Whether you're preparing a three-course dinner or running a continuous buffet service, the right cooking capacity keeps the kitchen on schedule.
Storing ingredients safely at a London venue is a common logistical challenge. Our commercial fridge and freezer hire covers everything from under-counter units to full-size cabinets for large-scale catering. Food temperature compliance is non-negotiable — all refrigeration equipment is maintained and tested before delivery.
Keeping food at the right temperature through service is where many events run into problems. Our warming equipment includes bain-maries, heated trolleys, and electric chafing dishes that plug into standard power supplies. These hold food at safe temperatures through extended service periods.
We supply complete table settings for any size of event. Our crockery covers plates, bowls, and serving pieces for everything from canteen meals to formal banquets. Pair with our cutlery and glassware, and add tablecloths and napkins to complete the setting. All crockery, cutlery, and glassware is covered by our Send It Back Dirty service — return it unwashed and we handle cleaning.
Events with a bar component need the right hardware. We stock bar equipment including commercial bar fridges, spirit dispensers, and ice buckets. Pair with bar counters and bar stools for a complete bar setup. For softer drinks and hot beverages, our beverage equipment includes commercial urns and juice dispensers.
We deliver to all London postcodes. Our drivers work within venue access windows and understand the loading requirements of hotels, conference centres, and institutional sites across the capital. Equipment arrives clean and ready for service. After the event, we return to collect — pack items back into the crates or cases they arrived in and we take care of the rest. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT, calculated by road distance from our nearest depot.
