Whether it’s the height of summer festival season or the sparkle of a bustling Christmas market, one thing unites all great events: fresh, safe food and drink. For caterers, breweries, street food vendors, and event organisers, maintaining the right temperature for perishable stock is a top priority. That’s where fridge trailer hire and freezer trailer hire make all the difference.
Why refrigeration matters at events
In the UK, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) is the Government body that provides the guidance for event organisers. These guidelines dictate that chilled food must be stored at, or below, 8°C and frozen food at, or below, -18°C. The ‘temperature danger zone’ (the range of temperatures between which bacteria grow at the fastest rate), is defined as 8°C and 63°C. When chilled food is kept out of the fridge in this danger zone for longer than 4 hours, it must not be put back into the fridge. In hot weather this is reduced to two hours. Temperature control is therefore essential for both food safety and customer satisfaction, and hiring a mobile fridge or freezer trailer will ensure your products are kept in optimum condition, no matter the weather or location.
Fridge trailer hire is perfect for summer festivals
Summer festivals are an unforgettable highlight of the British calendar. But for caterers, soaring temperatures can be a challenge. Fridge trailer hire from WET Hire will provide peace of mind, keeping drinks ice-cold and food fresh throughout long, hot weekends.
Vendors can also benefit from the flexibility of onsite storage. Instead of cramming everything into small under-counter fridges, a walk-in fridge trailer offers room to organise stock properly, reduce waste, and serve customers more efficiently.
Fridge trailer hire is essential for winter events
As we approach the end of autumn and the year draws to a close, winter events are the perfect opportunity for traders. At Christmas markets, where visitors can take their pick of mulled wine, gourmet cold meats, or luxury chocolate, maintaining the quality of your edible stock items is paramount. Even when temperatures plummet, storage without correct refrigeration is risky, as sudden temperature changes can spoil delicate goods.
In these scenarios, fridge trailer hire and freezer trailer hire allows produce to be stored close at hand, removing the need for offsite facilities. This means stock levels can be maintained at all times, stalls don’t have to be overstocked, and food remains fresh throughout the event.
Benefits of fridge freezer trailers
• Convenience – we will deliver the units to your event venue, set them up and then collect them at the end of the hire period.
• Capacity – with an internal capacity of 10.34m3, our trailers are perfect for high-volume events, being bigger than the average catering fridge.
• Security – the units are lockable, to give you the peace of mind that your stock will be safe overnight at multi-day events.
• Flexibility – we offer short-term or long-term hire options to suit seasonal demand.
• Compliance – our units comply with FSA guidelines and all current food hygiene and safety regulations.
Fridge freezer trailers for every kind of event
While summer festivals and winter markets are the obvious examples, fridge and freezer trailer hire is also ideal for:
• Weddings and private parties
• Corporate events
• Sporting fixtures
• Pop-up restaurants and bars
• Emergency refrigeration needs (such as equipment breakdowns)
Indeed, wherever food and drink are served, mobile refrigeration ensures smooth, safe operations.
