Check out today’s article about times when you may need to hire fridges and freezers – it’s more than you might think!
For event planners, caterers and large event organisers, the need to hire fridges and freezers is always on the agenda, as part of their wider list of catering hire requirements.
Why?
Well, because when you think about it, almost every type of event – if it involves catering – will need refrigeration, whether this is fridge hire, freezer hire, or both.
When you to come to hire fridges and freezers, you’ll find that they are available in a wide range of different styles and capacities, from small under counter fridges through to freestanding bottle fridges, chest freezers and even trailer fridges and freezers for larger, mass catering events.
So, let’s look at a few examples.
Temporary bar event
Temporary bars are a great example of where you will need to hire fridges and freezers, with the main reason being that the last thing you want is to be serving drinks at room temperature! Whether it’s lagers, ciders or fizz, these need to be served chilled, and the only way to do this is with fridges, and ice from freezers.
This is especially the case with temporary events bars, as many of these are simply the bar unit with no beer pumps, and so it’s often the case that drinks are served from cans or bottles. Why not use glass front bottle fridges for effective visual merchandising – get your most profitable product lines at eye-level!
Festival
Whilst you might be a festival goer yourself, and enjoy watching the bands on the stage, you might not be aware that behind the scenes at festivals and concerts is big business. From the green rooms through to artists’ hair and make up areas, there’s always a lot of equipment that needs to be hired for these zones.
And, at the same time, let’s not forget the artists’ dressing rooms, where not only are tables, chairs, make-up mirrors and garment rails required, but also so are fridges to keep their refreshments of choice cool for after their performance. You definitely need to keep your headline artists happy!
Large sports event hospitality
Another place where you would need to hire fridges and freezers is for behind the scenes hospitality at large international sports events and occasions. There is a huge amount of hospitality that takes place at these types of events, in the VIP and sponsors lounges, for instance. Your headline sponsors pay a lot of money to be associated with your event, and so you need to give them value for money. They will want to invite their key clients and no doubt treat them to some food and drink, whether this is a buffet style lunch or more formal sit-down dinner.
Whatever it is, you will have a catering team beavering hard behind the scenes to create their magic – but they will only be able to do this if you provide them with the right catering equipment they need…and fridges and freezers fall into this category. They will need to keep ingredients chilled and/or frozen, and will need to be able to access all this quickly, easily and efficiently. Choosing the right fridges and freezers, therefore, should always be an important element on your catering equipment hire list.
Hire fridges and freezers for your temporary event office
Many large events start life with the temporary event office. This is often a Portakabin or other temporary building that is delivered onto site, some months before the festival or event is due to take place. It is the central point of contact for contractors, employees, suppliers and everyone else associated with the event. You will need to hire fridges and freezers, therefore, to keep everyone happy – especially in the height of summer – to keep those drinks cool!
Private homes, when your own breaks down!
And last, but by no means least, let’s not forget those instances where your fridge or freezer breaks down at home, and you need to hire a replacement whilst you are waiting for a repair person to visit, or your new appliance to arrive. OK, so in these days of online next day or even same day deliveries, there is less demand for this than there used to be, but it’s there nonetheless.
