It is an indispensable tool for any event requiring a hot buffet or extended food service.
This versatile bain marie unit arrives fully equipped with two 1/3 size and two 1/6 size 150mm-deep stainless steel gastronorm pans, along with their corresponding lids.

Consider this bain marie for a variety of events and uses:
Using a wet heat bain marie offers significant advantages. The water bath creates an even, indirect heat, which prevents food from sticking or scorching, preserving its flavour and texture. This method also helps to maintain food hygiene standards by keeping items above critical temperature thresholds. Its compact design makes it suitable for various setups, from small pop-up buffets to extensive catering lines.
Expo Hire provides a wide range of catering equipment hire solutions to complement your bain marie, including chafing dishes, hot cupboards, and serving utensils. We deliver across England and Wales, ensuring your equipment arrives on time and ready for use. Our team is dedicated to helping you choose the right equipment for your specific event needs.

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.
