Kitchen Equipment Hire
A complete range of kitchen equipment for hire to aid with food preparation for catering staff to provide immaculate, professional and slick service for all sizes of events and venues.
Hire by Collection
Everything you need for preparation
Our range of kitchen equipment enables catering staff to provide impeccable, professional and slick service to guest groups and venues of all sizes and types. From fridge hire to oven hire, we’ve got you covered.
For smaller occasions and gatherings, a single LPG gas ring burner might suffice – while for others, the venue or guest list might dictate that a more substantial two-ring version, an electric or induction hob, a tabletop electric griddle or even a spacious hot holding cupboard is needed to get everyone fed in a timely and efficient sitting.
Whatever the event size or occasion you’re catering for, the Plato Hire range of kitchen equipment covers all the crucial bases for delivering an impressive service across the board. If there’s a specific item you’re looking for that you can’t find on this page, please feel free to contact our team for more information and guidance.
Look for the orange SafeHire logo

They aim to protect, support, and grow the industry whilst safeguarding end-users, hirers, and contractors through their commitment to skills, standards, and sustainability.
