Reliable hospital catering equipment hire for continuous service.
Expo Hire supplies catering equipment to NHS trusts, hospital catering teams and healthcare catering contractors across England and Wales. We cover short-term hire for planned works and capital projects, as well as longer-term contracts where equipment is needed on site for months at a time. Credit accounts are available for approved NHS and public sector clients.
Hospital catering operations run continuous service across meal times. Our gastronorm containers and bain maries support ward meal service and mobile kitchen setups. Urns and hot water boilers serve hot drinks at ward level without depending on a central kitchen connection. Stock pots and cooking pans in commercial sizes handle volume preparation for large patient and staff dining operations.
Hospital kitchen refurbishments and deep-clean shutdowns create gaps in catering capacity. Hire equipment covers those gaps without capital spend. We supply a full mobile kitchen package or individual items to supplement reduced-capacity operations during phased works. Equipment delivers and installs on site, then we collect when the main kitchen returns to service.
We have supplied long-term catering equipment to NHS trusts across England and Wales. See our NHS catering equipment case study for detail on how we structured that contract.
