Running catering at an event is challenging enough without having to worry about unreliable equipment, a cramped prep space, or temporary kitchen setup that can’t cope with the service you have to provide. A professional catering equipment hire company makes all the difference to your event. At YES Hire, we provide catering equipment hire across North Yorkshire and the wider North for some of the best caterers, wedding planners, marquee companies and venues. We provide what is needed to create professional kitchen setups in everything from countryside marquees to established event spaces. Whether you just need a few extra appliances to support your existing kitchen, or you’re building a temporary catering space from scratch, we can help you put together a setup that works efficiently for your team. We can even provide the catering tent if you need that!

As with all the equipment available from YES Hire, every piece of catering equipment is purchased new from reputable commercial manufacturers and maintained regularly between hires. With over a decade in the industry, we really understand how important reliability is during service! That is why every appliance is thoroughly checked both before it leaves our warehouse and when we arrive on site. Gas equipment is fully gas safety checked by a professional, and electrical appliances are PAT tested. Our own staff test the practical details such as from checking oven seals and hob ignition to ensuring fridges are cooling before we leave. If you need safety certificates for your venue or event paperwork, we’re always happy to provide them. It’s this attention to detail that gives caterers confidence when hiring professional kitchen equipment from us.

But what do we actually offer? Our catering equipment hire range covers everything you would need to build a temporary kitchen and service space. We have both gas and electric ovens and fryers, depending on your site requirements. We have all the fridges you want from upright catering fridges and bottle fridges to  refrigerated display cabinets and counter top refrigerated cupboards! Of course, we also offer fridge and freezer trailers for larger-scale chilled storage. For your prep areas, our stainless steel tables provide practical workspace and can also be fitted with hot lights to hold plated food during busy service periods. We also stock hot cupboards  in multiple sizes to keep food warm before service, as well as bain maries. For extra flexibility in your set up, we have counter top appliances like sous vides, infrared heat lamps, and induction hobs. Whatever your needs, let us know how we can help! 

If you’re serving a wedding breakfast for 80 guests one week, then serving at a large-scale corporate hospitality the next, hiring catering equipment gives you the flexibility you need. As well as sheer scale, different events and menus have differing requirements: you may need another kitchen layout, gas-only appliances or lots of self-serve items. Hiring allows you to adjust your setup around exactly what you need for each event without the cost or storage requirements of owning commercial appliances yourself. 

YES Hire doesn’t stop at providing high quality equipment. When we deliver, we will also set up your kitchen, and test all appliances.  Importantly with kitchen equipment hire, all the cleaning is included in our prices, meaning you can send items back dirty and let us handle washing up. Save valuable time for your team before and after service, and help simplify your schedule! 

We also know that event kitchens rarely operate in ideal conditions. Temporary catering spaces, marquee kitchens, and rural venues all come with challenges, which is why we focus heavily on support and reliability. If issues do arise during hire, our experienced team is just a phone call away. Often, we can troubleshoot quickly over the phone and get things running again without disruption. If not, we’ll arrange a replacement to be driven over to your event as quickly as possible to keep your service moving.

From ovens and fryers to refrigeration, prep stations, hot holding, and serving equipment, YES Hire provides professional catering equipment hire designed to support real event kitchens.
