Expo Hire holds the largest stock of hire fridges in the UK, with over 250 units ready to go. We have supplied over 200 individual fridges to Glastonbury Festival in a single event, so we can handle catering jobs of any scale. Choose from gastro fridges, counter fridges, bottle coolers and wine fridges for weddings, corporate events, festivals and catering jobs across England and Wales. Part of our Catering Equipment Hire range. See also Bar Hire and Chafing Dish Hire.

Gastro and counter fridges

Our gastro fridges and counter fridges fit standard gastronorm pans, so they slot straight into your existing catering workflow. Counter fridges with an integrated work surface double as prep space, useful where marquee floor space is limited.

Bottle fridges, display fridges and wine fridges

Front-of-house fridges keep drinks visible and at serving temperature. Triple door bottle fridges suit high-turnover bars, while our glass-fronted display and wine fridges work well for a bar area guests can see into.

Power requirements

Fridges and freezers draw a steady electrical load throughout your event. Check your venue has enough sockets and circuits to run every unit at once, especially if you are also running catering equipment or a bar. Our team can advise on power requirements when you book.

FAQs

How do I choose the right fridge for my event?

Match the fridge to your food and drink volumes. Counter and gastro fridges suit standard catering jobs, while a double door or gastro fridge gives you more capacity for larger guest numbers.

Can fridges run off a generator?

Yes, but the generator needs enough spare capacity to run the compressor alongside your other equipment. Tell us your generator spec when you book and we can confirm compatibility.

Do you deliver and set up the fridges?

Yes. We deliver, position and connect each unit at your venue, then collect after your event.

Is ice included with a fridge hire?

No, we supply the fridges and coolers but not consumable items like ice, food or drinks.
