Mobile Kitchen Hire
Mobile kitchen, temporary kitchen and portable kitchen all describe the same thing at PKL: a fully fitted commercial kitchen that is delivered to your site, installed, and hired for as long as you need it. If you have searched for a mobile kitchen, these are the units you are looking for.
Every unit arrives built and tested, with the cooking, preparation, warewashing and refrigeration equipment already fitted. We deliver across the UK, connect the unit on site, and collect it when the hire ends. Hire periods run from a few days to several years, and the same units cover kitchen refurbishments, emergency replacement after a breakdown or fire, and extra capacity for a busy period.
Whether you call it a mobile kitchen, a temporary kitchen or a portable kitchen, tell us the covers you need and we will design the layout around it. If you’re comparing suppliers or planning a project, read our guide to the 7 questions to ask before renting a commercial kitchen to help you assess the right solution for your requirements.

Want to know how our temporary kitchens can be used, or looking for some inspiration? This short video illustrates just some of the things that our customers typically use our temporary kitchens for. Our kitchens can be hired as single units or you can hire combinations of units to build a larger facility depending on your requirements. Our team of designers and project consultants will work with you to provide a temporary kitchen and catering equipment layout that’s right for both your menu requirements, the number of people working within the kitchen, and the number of people you’re feeding.

Our production kitchens start with our smallest Field Kitchen and range to our Triton Kitchen, so whether you are feeding 50 or 5,000 people each day, you will be able to find a temporary solution to suit your requirements. We also supply different sized preparation kitchens, cold rooms / dry storage facilities, and warewashing units, all of which are available to hire as standalone units or part of a larger temporary complex.

Proven Packages and Favoured Footprints

Proven Packages are combinations of our portable kitchens and ancillary units that have been linked together to form instant catering facilities capable of feeding anywhere from a few to a few thousand people each day. Similarly, our Favoured Footprints are pre-designed layouts of catering equipment combinations, designed to run along the production side of our temporary kitchens.
In both cases these pre-designed unit and equipment footprints can be used to provide an instant solution if required or can be used as a starting point for a more bespoke design to suit your requirements.
