Commercial catering equipment for Portsmouth events

We supply equipment built for service volumes, not domestic kitchens. Chafing dishes and bain-maries keep food at temperature across a full service period. Gastronorm containers come in 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/6 sizes to fit standard catering equipment. Hot cupboards hold large quantities for banquets and outdoor events where a kitchen is not next to service.

Beverage equipment hire for Portsmouth

Tea and coffee service at conferences and corporate events uses urns and percolators. We supply 20-litre and 30-litre water boilers for high-volume service. Water coolers, juice dispensers, and soft drink dispensers suit receptions and exhibition stands with a hospitality area.

Bar equipment for Portsmouth events

Events with licensed bars need bar equipment beyond the bar counter itself. We supply bottle bins, ice buckets, spirit dispensers, wine coolers, and cocktail equipment. Pair these with glassware and bar furniture in the same order.

See the full range with sizes, quantities, and live pricing on our catering equipment hire page.
