- Looking for extra kitchen capacity?
- Planning a kitchen refurbishment?
- Need an emergency temporary kitchen?
Whether you're refurbishing a kitchen, planning an event, or need additional capacity, our temporary kitchens offer a complete, scalable commercial catering solution, available for hire (or rental) anywhere in the UK, from one day to several years. From preparation and production, to warewashing and welfare spaces, each cabin kitchen, available as 20ft or 28ft, is tailored to your needs.
Craned into place, connected to utilities, and safety tested by our engineers, our portable kitchens are ready for immediate use. Whether you're searching for portable kitchen hire or a temporary commercial kitchen to rent, every unit we supply is delivered, installed and ready to cook.
Not sure whether a temporary kitchen unit or a marquee kitchen suits your site? A unit comes complete from one supplier and is craned into place, so there is no marquee to build. If you already have a marquee, we can supply the kitchen equipment for it. Read our guide to temporary kitchens versus marquee kitchens.
With over 50 years of experience supporting caterers, facilities teams, and event organisers, we manage the entire process—from site surveys and kitchen design to installation, testing, and 24/7 support.
We will help you design your cabin kitchen layout according to the facilities you require for food preparation.
Choose from a wide variety of kitchen heavy equipment and utensils to suit your exact requirements.
We can install fully automated or manual warewashing and cleaning options in your temporary kitchen.
Cold stores are the ideal add-on for your portable kitchen for food storage, both chilled and frozen.
Additional units can be joined with a weathertight connection for dining or welfare facilities.
Additional units can be easily linked and used for dry storage purposes for extra capacity as required.
There isn't one. Temporary kitchen and portable kitchen are different names for the same thing: a commercial catering kitchen built into a unit, delivered to your site, craned into place and connected to your utilities. Whether you're looking for temporary kitchen hire or portable kitchen hire, our 20ft and 28ft units cover both. They are commercial catering kitchens, so they are not suitable for domestic use.
You need enough level space for the number of kitchens required, and the area must be accessible, as units are delivered by HGV and lifted into place by crane. We usually carry out a site survey before delivery. Units need electricity and water, and gas only if you choose gas cooking equipment. If these are not within easy reach, we can connect to temporary supplies such as generators, water tanks and portable gas. Our temporary kitchens are for commercial use only, not domestic settings.
We supply 20ft and 28ft temporary kitchens. A 20ft unit is 6.1m long with a 4.0m cook line and serves approximately 400 meals per sitting. A 28ft unit is 8.5m long with a 6.6m cook line and serves approximately 800. Both are 3.13m deep and 3.0m high. Extra units can be linked on for dry storage, dining or staff welfare, and cold stores can be added.

When a fire forced the closure of Meadowcroft Garden Centre’s café kitchen, their team faced the possibility of being out of action for months. Within just two days of receiving the enquiry, Jongor were on site to assess the situation and develop a practical, efficient solution to enable the café to continue trading during the kitchen refurbishment.
Jongor’s fast response, collaborative approach, and ability to deploy a complete temporary kitchen quickly and cost effectively meant the café reopened far sooner than anticipated.
Within 5 days of the enquiry, we installed two temporary kitchens for Airbus, Brize Norton, for an increase in catering requirements due to a move to 24-hour operations. Jongor assisted with equipment specification, floor plans, commissioning and staff training.
"We've worked with Jongor for years and when we needed to go to 24 hour operations, Jongor were very quick to respond, designing and installing a temporary kitchen, with the kit as usual of great quality"
Operations Manager, Airbus.
Jongor supplied two temporary kitchens, two walk-in cold rooms and outdoor lighting for 400 staff, at the Rolls Royce manufacturing and assembly centre, to ensure food service operations continued during kitchen refurbishment.
"Grayson's were impressed with Jongor 's service. They provided CAD drawings of options that would work both operationally and within budget, and the kitchens and equipment were excellent quality, with everything delivered and installed on time."
Project Manager, Rolls Royce.
This project involved the refurbishment of a pub kitchen in Stroud following an insurance claim. The temporary kitchen unit was successfully installed at the front of the venue on a sloping site, presenting additional logistical challenges.
The installation also incorporated a cold room to ensure the client could maintain full catering operations throughout the refurbishment period.
