Fridge and freezer trailer hire for outside caterers
You’ve got a marquee wedding for 150 on Saturday, a corporate dinner in a barn on Thursday, and enough prep to make your head spin. The venue’s domestic fridge holds about three trays and a jug of milk. You need proper cold storage on site, and you need it to just work.
That’s where we come in. Chilled Down is a family-run refrigerated and freezer trailer hire service based near Norwich, covering Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and the wider East Anglia region, plus Sussex. We work with outside caterers week in, week out—it’s our bread and butter. You tell us where and when, we deliver a clean, ready-to-go chiller or freezer trailer, and collect it once service is done.

How outside caterers use our trailers
Most of our catering customers book per event. You might hire a fridge trailer for a summer wedding, a freezer for a festival pitch, or both for a multi-day country show. We see the same caterers back again and again through the season—often week after week during the busy summer months when you’re doing back-to-back events.
Common jobs include corporate events in unusual venues, weddings under canvas, private parties in gardens or village halls, agricultural shows, and any gig where the kitchen is a gazebo and a couple of burners. If you’re prepping off-site and ferrying food in, or the venue has no commercial cold storage, an outside catering fridge trailer gives you the capacity and peace of mind to do the job properly.
Some mobile catering companies keep a trailer for a whole season. Others book one-off hires around their calendar. Both work for us.
Choosing the right trailer size for event catering
We run single-axle and twin-axle refrigerated trailers. A single-axle suits smaller events or caterers working solo or in pairs—think a wedding breakfast for 60, or a corporate lunch. A twin-axle gives you the capacity for bigger numbers, longer events, or when you’re storing meat, fish, dairy and desserts all at once.
Not sure which you need? Tell us the guest count, menu outline and how long you’re on site. We’ll talk you through it. Every trailer runs as a fridge or a freezer—your call—and comes with GPS tracking and remote temperature monitoring fitted as standard.

Power, delivery and how it works on site
Trailers run from a standard 13 amp 240V mains hookup. Most venues have an outside socket or can run an extension. If you’re in a field with no power, we can arrange a small generator to keep things ticking over.
We deliver the trailer to your event site and set it up. You don’t need a tow vehicle or a towing licence. Once your event wraps and the trailer’s empty, we collect. It’s one less thing on your list when you’re packing down at midnight.
Booking your catering fridge hire
Peak wedding season—May through September—is our busiest time. If you’ve got a date locked in, get your trailer booked early. We take reservations by phone or through the website, and we’ll confirm availability for your event straight away.
Pricing is per job: trailer size, distance, duration and time of year all play a part. We ask for a deposit to secure the booking, then the balance before delivery. Business customers working with us regularly can set up a 30-day invoice account. We take bank transfer and card payments.
Why event caterers keep coming back
Mobile catering fridge hire isn’t complicated, but it needs to be reliable. Our trailers are clean, serviced and maintained by us. You get a local phone number—Paul answers—and if something’s not right, we sort it.
We know the catering calendar. We know you’re juggling multiple events, tight prep windows and venues that promise facilities they don’t have. A fridge or freezer trailer turns any site into a workable kitchen outpost, and that’s why caterers across East Anglia come back to us season after season.
If you’re outside catering and you need cold storage on site, give us a ring on 07771 834857 or get in touch through the website. Tell us your event date, location and what you’re cooking—we’ll take it from there.
