Choosing the right option

Choose by display need, storage volume, door access and how quickly staff need to reach the stock during service.

Cooling time matters as much as litres. Put the unit in place early enough to reach temperature before service starts and before stock is loaded. Plan power, airflow and door swing before delivery. A well-chosen fridge still needs the right position to work properly.

  • Use display cabinets where guests or bar staff need visible stock
  • Use counter and double-door fridges for prep or reserve stock
  • Choose wine fridges where bottle presentation matters
  • Leave space for doors and airflow
  • Arrange delivery in time for cool-down
  • Match the cabinet to the service method rather than only litres

Questions people ask

When should a fridge arrive?

Book delivery for the day before the event. A fridge needs time to settle and pull down before full use.

How long does cooling take?

Allow 6 to 8 hours before heavy loading.

Do drivers install the fridge?

No. Expo Hire supplies dry hire only.

What if I need more than one fridge?

Book a front-of-house unit for service and a second unit for reserve stock where the event is busy.
