Product Description
Professional caterers require dependable equipment for food preparation and service. Booking a stainless steel gastronorm pan - 1/2 half size - 65mm deep hire gives you a standard commercial container for hot or cold holding. Measuring 325mm by 265mm, this half-GN unit fits straight into standard bain-maries, chafing dishes, and refrigerated prep counters. You stack multiple pans in your kitchen to save space during busy service periods.
Organising a large banquet or corporate event demands precise logistics. Expo Hire operates 11 regional depots to supply venues throughout the country. We deliver your catering equipment straight to your site, with delivery starting from £40 ex-VAT. On the morning of your event, you receive an SMS with a live tracking link and an estimated time of arrival. Every order includes a free minor damage waiver, covering accidental scratches or dents during normal use. You avoid tying up capital, as we require no security deposit for your booking.
Managing Your Stainless Steel Gastronorm Pan - 1/2 Half Size - 65mm Deep Hire
These 0.48kg pans hold hot proteins, roasted vegetables, or chilled salads. You transfer food straight from the oven or blast chiller into your serving line. Event organisers rely on this standard sizing to maintain strict portion control across multiple buffet stations. Incorporating these pans into your wider catering equipment hire order helps you coordinate back-of-house operations. Kitchen staff load prepped ingredients into the 65mm deep trays before service begins.
Festival operators and independent caterers use half-size GN pans to maximise limited counter space in temporary kitchens. You set up your serving area on standard trestles from our table hire category. The stainless steel construction conducts heat well, keeping your dishes at food-safe temperatures throughout the service window. After the event concludes, you pack the empty pans back into their transport crates. Our drivers collect the equipment from your venue, saving you time during the breakdown phase.
