01 / Cook & Serve Under Cover

A TENT BUILT FOR FOOD, NOT JUST GUESTS

Caterers, food vendors, shisanyama and market traders need more than a party tent. A catering tent has to shelter a cooking line, keep sun and rain off the food and your staff, and still leave room for a serving counter. Catering Equipments sells peg-and-pole, frame and stretch tents from 5 m × 5 m upwards that work as kitchen tents, food-stall tents and back-of-house cooking tents at weddings, funerals, festivals and corporate events.

Because we also sell the gas fryers, griddles, bain maries and event chairs that go inside, you can buy a complete mobile catering set-up from one supplier.

03 / Tips

SETTING UP A SAFE COOKING TENT

  • Keep gas cylinders outside or at the open side of the tent, away from the canvas.
  • Place fryers and griddles where heat and smoke can escape — leave a side open or raise a wall.
  • Separate the cooking area from the serving counter so staff and customers are not crowded together.
  • Keep a fire extinguisher and fire blanket in the tent.

Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What size tent do I need for catering?

For selling food from a counter, 5 m × 5 m is usually enough. For a full cooking line with prep space, choose 5 m × 10 m or larger. Tell us what equipment will go inside and we’ll recommend a size.

Can I cook inside a tent?

Many caterers cook under a tent, but ventilation and gas safety matter. Keep one side open, keep gas cylinders outside, and keep a fire extinguisher close by.

Do you sell industrial tents too?

Yes — see our full range of industrial tents for sale, from 5 m × 5 m up to 15 m × 30 m.

Do you deliver tents nationwide?

Yes. We deliver across South Africa from our base in Polokwane.
