DRY HIRE : WHAT DO YOU NEED...

Simply : gas, electricity, water and insurance
You will need gas (the trailer is fitted to carry two 19kg propane cylinders), 2 x 32 amp feeds for the electricity supply (one for the ring main and the other for the ovens - if you have a bain marie you will need a third 32 amp feed), waste receptacle (if required) and a water supply that attaches to a standard hose fitting. We are able to supply gas upon request. More specific details on each below:

ELECTRICITY
Electricity input. Please note that this is dependent on your requirements.
There are 3 circuits within the trailer (3 x 32amp sockets and 3 x 32amp cables supplied):

·         1 is the supply for the coffee machine/bain marie if you are using either.
·         1 is the supply for the two ovens OR an oven and a dishwasher
·         1 is the supply for the ring main, fridges, freezer, lights, plug sockets, water pump etc.

Please refer to the manual pages for specific information on each piece of equipment. Note that insufficient electricity supply could lead to equipment damage.  If using a generator you will need to rent a 5-10k generator depending on your requirements.  A generator can be rented here.

WATER
Water input: standard hose lock fitting (supplied) and on-board 200 litre tank.  All water used on board is filtered through a Brita Quell system. 
Waste water: all waste water leaves through a grey water pump. This must be connected to one of two hoses supplied. There is an adapter provided to also allow you to fit the waste hose into a trailer bowser.  Please see page 12 in the manual for further information. 

GAS
2 x 19kg propane bottles are required. Please see page 11 in the manual for further information.
We can supply the trailer with gas for an additional charge or gas can be ordered from Flogas.  If you run out of gas during your hire period please find your nearest Flogas stockiest here where you will be able to exchange empty bottles for full bottles.  

INSURANCE
The hirer must take out fully comprehensive insurance coverage for the trailer for the full period of hire up to the value of £40,000.  The field kitchen company accepts no liability for the client’s failure to adequately insure the contents of any refrigeration equipment.

 

SET UP / RETURN

Our delivery driver can set up the field kitchen for an additional fee.  Please see our cost page for details.  The site must be ready for delivery and set-up on arrival. Any delays will incur extra costs. 
If you would like to set up the kitchen yourself the kitchen comes with a manual explaining how to do so.  This is also available to download from our website as a PDF here.

You are able to decorate the kitchen as long as everything is removable and will cause no lasting effects, marks or tarnishes.  Please note the front panels either side of the hatch are blackboard vinyls and can be written on using chalkboard pens only.

Once you have finished with the trailer it must be cleaned and packed up ready for movement. Please read the manual pages about cleaning and return. If the trailer is not cleaned properly we will organise a cleaner once it has been returned and this fee will be taken from your deposit.

 

TROUBLESHOOTING

For troubleshooting appliances or equipment in the kitchen, please see our manuals. Do not attempt to fix any of the equipment yourself. If you cannot find the answer to your question or problem, or it is an emergency please go to the contacts section of the manual or website.
