Commercial catering equipment auctions

Running a hospitality business means the equipment is often personal, such as an oven a baker has used for years or the counter a butcher has served customers from for decades. When it is time to sell, the process should be straightforward and handled by people who understand how quickly catering kit needs to move and what it is actually worth in the secondary market.

BTG Eddisons Asset Sales manages the complete disposal of catering equipment for restaurants, cafés, bakeries, takeaways, food manufacturers, mobile caterers, and hospitality businesses of every size.

We handle valuation, photography, marketing, sale, and buyer collection from your premises, with multiple disposal routes available depending on what you have and how quickly it needs to go. These include:

• Cooking equipment – Commercial ovens, ranges, grills, fryers, and combination steamers from working kitchens. Brands including Rational, Lincat, and Falcon appear regularly. Buyers include restaurants, schools, care homes, and contract caterers.
• Refrigeration and cold storage – Upright fridges, chest freezers, display counters, and walk-in cold rooms across all sizes and specifications. Popular with new restaurant openings, food retailers, and catering contractors sourcing additional capacity.
