Hire BBQs for festivals, fetes, garden parties and corporate events. Commercial-grade gas and charcoal BBQs available. Delivery across England and Wales.
Expo Hire stocks commercial gas and charcoal barbecues for outdoor events across England and Wales. The range suits events from a 30-person garden party to a 500-person festival. Gas bottle hire is available alongside every gas BBQ model. All equipment is delivered clean and ready to use.
Commercial gas BBQs produce even, consistent heat across a large grilling surface. A standard commercial gas BBQ handles around 40 to 50 burgers or pieces of chicken at a time, which is significantly more than a domestic model. Gas gives control over temperature and recovery time, which matters when serving a queue of guests throughout a two or three hour catering window.
Charcoal BBQs suit events where the flavour and visual presentation of charcoal cooking is part of the appeal. They take longer to reach temperature and require more attention during cooking, but the results work well for meat-focused menus at parties and outdoor events where smoke and theatre are welcome.
Gas bottles are available to hire alongside any gas BBQ. Full bottles are delivered with the equipment; empty bottles are collected at the end of the event. The number of bottles you need depends on cooking duration and the size of the BBQ. A full bottle lasts approximately three to four hours on a medium commercial BBQ.
Garden parties are the most common occasion for BBQ hire. A commercial gas BBQ handles the volume of a 60 to 100 person garden party where a domestic BBQ would struggle with throughput. One commercial BBQ with a trained operator works well at this size.
Festivals and fetes with food stalls use BBQs as part of a wider outdoor catering setup. Multiple units running in parallel handle larger crowds. Gas is usually preferred for its consistency and speed at high volume.
Summer parties at corporate venues and private estates often use BBQ hire as the main food service method. Team-building events and sports days use BBQs for post-activity catering. A commercial unit feeding 80 to 150 people covers most events of this type.
One standard commercial gas BBQ suits up to around 100 to 150 people over a two to three hour service. For larger events or longer service windows, hire two or more units to maintain throughput. Expo Hire delivers BBQ hire across England and Wales. Book at least two weeks in advance for summer weekends when demand peaks. Gas equipment requires adequate outdoor ventilation and must not be used in enclosed spaces.
