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.

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.
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.

Unless the two person carriage charge has been paid for, deliveries and collections are made by a single driver, who has 15 minutes to deliver or collect your order.
Our drivers are not allowed to take items up or down stairs or into lifts, and all deliveries need to be made within 50 metres of the vehicle. Any delays beyond the standard delivery time caused by access issues or items not being ready will be charged at £120 per hour or part thereof.
If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately a wasted journey charge will apply. You will be sent a live tracking link so you can monitor your delivery in real time — our drivers do not make phone calls to notify of arrival times.
If access to collecting the hired equipment is denied, blocked, or impassable, a wasted collection journey will be automatically charged. Any parking tickets issued to vehicles whilst executing a delivery or collection will be charged for whilst we appeal.
