When long-term hire makes sense

Kitchen renovation projects create a predictable gap in catering capacity. A school might need 12 chafing dishes and two commercial urns for an entire academic term while its kitchen is being refitted. A hospital commissary running seasonal peak capacity hires additional bain-maries and hotboxes for three months rather than purchase equipment that sits unused outside that window. A corporate caterer taking on a six-month contract at a new site hires rather than commits capital to equipment it may not need after the contract ends.

Equipment available on long-term contracts

Our full catering equipment range is available on weekly or monthly rates. Chafing dishes and bain-maries for food service, urns and coffee percolators for drinks service, hot cupboards and transport equipment for logistics. Contact us to discuss rates for contracts of four weeks or longer.

No deposits, no commitment on short contracts

Long-term hire orders require no security deposit. Equipment is delivered, set up if required, and collected at the end of the contract period. For contracts over eight weeks, we schedule a mid-contract check to ensure equipment is performing correctly. Replacement of any faulty item is arranged without additional charge.
