Mobile bars

A mobile bar trailer can provide a professional serving area for events, weddings, festivals, private functions and temporary hospitality setups.

Depending on the trailer available and your requirements, mobile bar configurations may include:

Features depend on the specific trailer and hire requirements, so tell us what your event needs and we will tell you honestly what we can cover.

If you are planning to operate a mobile bar regularly rather than for a one-off event, we can also design and build a bespoke mobile bar trailer specifically for your business. See New Catering Trailers.

Hire periods

Short-Term & Longer-Term Trailer Hire

Enquiries are welcome for any of the following, and each one is quoted on its own merits rather than from a price list.

  • One-day hire
  • Weekend hire
  • Weekly hire
  • Event hire
  • Seasonal hire
  • Temporary business use
  • Longer-term rental

Hire costs depend on the trailer required, hire duration, specification, equipment, delivery location and any additional requirements. Send us your requirements and we will provide a tailored quotation.

Off the road

Need a Trailer While Yours Is Being Repaired?

If your existing catering trailer is off the road for repairs or refurbishment, temporary trailer hire may help keep your business operating while the work is completed.

Catering Trailers NW also provides catering trailer repairs, refurbishments, modifications and upgrades. Mention your existing trailer in your enquiry and we can look at both together.

Trading regularly?

Need a Trailer for the Long Term?

Hiring can be ideal for events, temporary requirements or short-term trading. If you plan to use a catering trailer regularly, commissioning your own bespoke trailer may make more sense for your business.

At Catering Trailers NW we design and build new catering trailers around your menu, equipment and preferred working layout.

Whether you are starting a new street-food business, replacing an existing trailer or expanding your operation, we can build a trailer around how you actually intend to work.
