Hire fridges and freezers for events and catering: upright fridges, counter fridges, chest freezers and bar fridges. Delivery across England and Wales.
Expo Hire stocks temporary cold storage for catering events across England and Wales. The range covers back bar fridges, upright catering fridges, counter-height fridges and chest freezers. All units are cleaned and pre-cooled before dispatch.
Back bar fridges keep bottles and cans cold behind the bar. A standard back bar fridge holds 90 to 150 bottles depending on the configuration. They work well for weddings and corporate events where a drinks service needs cold stock available throughout the event without restocking from a distant storeroom.
Upright catering fridges provide cold storage for food during preparation and service. They suit temporary kitchens at wedding venues, marquee events and outdoor catering operations where perishable ingredients need to stay below 5 degrees Celsius throughout the catering operation.
Counter-height fridges fit under a bar counter and keep frequently accessed cold items within easy reach of bar staff. They work well at pop-up bars, exhibition stands with drinks service and corporate hospitality points. Chest freezers provide frozen storage for events involving ice cream, frozen ingredients or stock that needs to remain frozen over a multi-day event.
Beer festivals need cold storage for kegs, bottles and cans beyond what fits behind the bar at any one moment. A back bar fridge keeps stock cold and accessible. For larger festivals running over two days, additional upright fridges for back-of-house storage are standard practice.
Mobile bars working at weddings and corporate events need cold stock available throughout the event. A back bar fridge running alongside the main bar setup is the standard approach. Outdoor catering at garden parties and festivals requires cold storage to meet food hygiene requirements.
Temporary kitchen setups for weddings and corporate events need an upright fridge as a minimum. Larger operations with a longer preparation window need more capacity. Check individual product pages for temperature specifications and energy requirements.
All fridges and freezers require a standard 13A mains connection. Units are pre-cooled before dispatch and arrive at temperature. Allow two to three hours for a unit to reach full operating temperature if switched off during transport. Expo Hire delivers cold storage equipment across England and Wales. Book at least a week ahead. For beer festivals and large outdoor events, book two to three weeks in advance to ensure the units you need are available on your dates.
There’s no need to worry about a damage deposit when placing an event hire order with Expo Hire. Instead, we run a free minor damage waiver scheme to cover minor damage or loss, so you don’t need to worry if you break the odd glass or plate. We do charge for excessive or negligent loss or damage at 10x the hire price. Please check our terms and conditions for full details.
Working out delivery costs is easy with Expo Hire; simply use our carriage calculator to find which of our branches is near to you. Tap your postcode in and it will confirm not only whether we cover that postcode or not, but also which of our 11 branches is closest to you and the cost for delivery from that branch, as well as the list of possible extra charges. Heavy furniture like sofas or equipment like large fridges will require a second person in the van and this will be added in the checkout.
Once you have filled your basket and confirmed your delivery dates and postcode in the checkout, we will show you an itemised cost for delivery so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you place your order.
