Film catering kitchen hire is crucial for keeping the cast and crew properly catered for. When filming is underway, whether for a high-end TV drama or a major motion picture. At Mobile Kitchens Ltd, we specialise in mobile kitchen hire for film productions, providing professional, flexible, and fully equipped temporary kitchens to meet the demands of on-location filming.
Supporting the Unique Needs of Film Set Catering
Running a catering company that serves film productions comes with its own set of challenges. Food must be prepared quickly, safely, and often in unconventional or temporary locations. That’s where our mobile commercial kitchen rental for movie sets comes in—allowing caterers to bring a fully functioning kitchen to any filming location, regardless of existing infrastructure.
Our Solution: Complete Mobile Kitchen Hire with Professional Equipment
For our recent production, we provided a Medium Kitchen Unit, specially modified for the client’s needs. The unit included:
2 x Rational 10-Rack Combination Ovens
1 x 80L Bratt Pan
6-Burner Oven Range
Double Basket Fryer
Prep Tables, Storage Racks & Refrigeration
Sink Units with Hot Water and Handwashing Facilities
LP Gas System and External Storage Cage
This type of film set catering equipment hire in the UK is ideal for catering companies that need to set up quickly and operate at scale, without compromising on food quality or health and safety standards.
Seamless Delivery and Setup
To keep things stress-free, we managed the delivery and installation using a HIAB truck, ensuring the unit was positioned efficiently on-site. Our team worked alongside the client’s electricians and plumbers to handle all the service connections—including water, waste, power, and gas.
Should you require it, we also provide optional services like:
Supply of LP gas cylinders
Gas-safe connection and commissioning
On-site all-risk insurance
Out-of-hours delivery or collection
It’s all part of our commitment to offering a catering temporary hire solution that’s dependable and hassle-free.
