Frequently asked questions

Have questions about hiring a kitchen with PKL? Check out our FAQs to find out more before getting started with your hire.

Do you hire to private households? 

We specialise in commercial kitchen and catering equipment hire for professional kitchens, events and businesses. Unfortunately, we do not provide domestic hire services.

Is there a minimum hire requirement?

Whilst we do not have a specific minimum hire requirement, we are occasionally unable to fulfil hire requests for an event if the size, equipment required and location of the event do not meet our standard commercial criteria. In these cases, we may recommend alternative local suppliers who are better suited to smaller or domestic needs.

Do you have a price list?

Due to the bespoke nature of the events that we undertake, no two are the same due to the type of equipment, number of units and length of time that people would like to hire for. Therefore, we would rather discuss your exact requirements in order to provide a more realistic price to you. Our quoting system takes into consideration add on services such as delivery, installation requirements and any power supplies to be included. There are many other factors that also need to be taken into consideration when quoting your event such as the time of year, length of hire and the amount of equipment required.

Is there a minimum/maximum rental period?

You can rent the equipment for one day or just a few hours. There is a minimum rental charge, which equates to four days rental, but the time the equipment is on site is up to you. We have no maximum hire period.

Do you supply crockery, glassware, or linen?

We do not supply any ancillaries, however we work very closely with several premium suppliers who specialise in crockery, cutlery, glassware and furniture for hire. If you would like to add these types of items to your hire, we are happy to arrange this through one of our trusted partners, so that you remain with one point of contact for your hire. We do not supply staff with our kitchens, however we do work alongside many caterers involved in lots of different industries and would be able to help you find someone who best suits your needs.

Can you install your temporary kitchens and catering equipment in a field?

Yes. Our portable kitchens are designed for sites with no services. If you plan to locate the temporary kitchen on a Greenfield site, we can organise freshwater tanks, waste tanks, LPG supplies and generators.

You will need to let us know the location that the kitchen is being sited on prior to the delivery, as more difficult or remote sites may require the organisation of trackway or a crane to ensure that we can get the kitchen to your desired location.

Can I position the equipment anywhere on site?

Our equipment is easily manoeuvred and as long as health and safety regulations are adhered to and services taken into consideration, you should then have the utmost flexibility when it comes to positioning the equipment.

We do have a range of mobile and central island canopies that have been designed to create temporary kitchens in internal buildings. These do have wheels that allow them to be easily manoeuvred into place.

What are your payment terms?

PKL have various payment terms depending on the size of the event, your business and whether you have previously hired from us. Payment terms have to be arranged with us prior to the hire commencing and can be:

  • In full prior
  • 30 days from date of invoice.
  • 60 days nett monthly
  • 30 days nett monthly
  • Monthly in advance
