Our Turnkey Service
Get Expert AdviceCommercial kitchen equipment for pubs and bars has to keep the bar flowing and the kitchen serving through a busy session, from clean glasses coming through fast to cold drinks and reliable cooking. With Rental+ you can hold a full carvery service at temperature with a commercial hot cupboard on rental, but also equip the bar and the kitchen with glasswashers, refrigeration, ice machines and catering equipment you need without buying any of it outright. You rent the equipment on a multi-year plan, pay a fixed weekly cost with no upfront capital expenditure, and hand the servicing, parts and breakdowns to us, so a broken glasswasher on a Friday night is our problem to solve, not yours.
What a pub or bar needs
A pub runs on two fronts at once, the bar and the kitchen, and the equipment has to hold up on both through peak service.
Behind the bar, a glasswasher is the piece you cannot trade without, turning glasses around quickly so the bar never runs short. Bottle coolers, including upright bottle coolers keep bottled beer, wine and soft drinks cold and to hand, and an ice machine keeps up with demand for spirits and mixers. If you serve coffee, an espresso machine rounds out the bar. In the kitchen, undercounter dishwashers and the cooking and refrigeration your menu needs keep food service moving alongside the bar. You can rent a single glasswasher or fit out the whole pub on one plan.

Built around the glasswasher
For most bars the glasswasher is the hardest-working piece of equipment in the building, and when it stops, service stops with it. That is exactly why renting suits a pub so well: your glasswasher is covered by inclusive service and maintenance, so it is kept running with Planned Preventive Maintenance, and if it cannot be repaired it is replaced. You get a professional, well-maintained machine without paying for it up front, and you are never left carrying the cost or the downtime of a breakdown mid-session. The same cover applies across the bar and kitchen, so every piece of equipment your service depends on is looked after as part of the plan.
Why pubs and bars rent with Rental+
Renting removes the biggest barrier to good equipment, which is the upfront price. Instead of tying up capital in kit that then depreciates, you spread the cost across a fixed weekly payment by direct debit and keep your cash in the business. Service and maintenance is included on every plan, so call-outs, routine servicing, parts and Planned Preventive Maintenance are all covered at no extra cost. Our fix-or-replace guarantee means that if a unit cannot be repaired, we replace it, and a nationwide network of engineers keeps you trading. Every plan uses new or reconditioned equipment from leading brands, so you get dependable, professional kit backed by 46 years of experience. You can read the detail on our rental plans explained and inclusive maintenance pages.

How pub and bar rental works
Getting started is straightforward. We run a soft credit check, set up a security deposit alongside your direct debit, then deliver and install your equipment. From there it is covered, with servicing and breakdowns handled for you. You can rent a single salamander grill or glasswasher or fit out a complete bar and kitchen on one plan. If you run more than one site, request a quote and we will price the equipment around your pubs.
