Durham is a historic cathedral city of roughly 50,000 people, shaped by the River Wear, its university and a city centre with roots stretching back more than a thousand years. Durham Cathedral and Castle form its internationally recognised historic heart. Temporary event catering equipment hire Durham gives caterers and event organisers extra capacity for weddings, dinners, conferences, celebrations and hospitality without relying solely on equipment already available at the venue.
From our Bradford distribution centre, event kitchen catering equipment hire Durham can support preparation, cooking, hot holding, refrigeration, service and clearing requirements. The equipment mix should follow the menu and service method rather than simply the number of guests. A plated wedding breakfast, conference lunch and drinks reception can each put pressure on different parts of a temporary catering operation, so quantities and working areas are best considered together.
