In our guide to the Warren Food Trailer, we’ll explain what types of businesses it’s ideal for, how the design helps you make more money and all about this catering trailer, from it’s advantages over other catering units through to its main features and its technical specification.

This style of catering trailer is ideal if you:

• You want to generate maximum revenue in the minimum time (sounds obvious but read on)
• Trade at festivals, shows, events or stadiums
• Operate a fleet of trailers
• Want to blow your competition out of the water in terms of appearance and branding
• Will do roadshows or food demonstrations such as giving away food outside a supermarket
• Want to serve your food direct from the trailer to your customer
• Don’t want the expense of a new vehicle conversion which will only do low mileage over the life of the vehicle

With our experience we’ll work with you to understand how your business model works and what size of trailer will work best for you. So how much food do you want to sell and what type of food? Our warren range of trailers come in various lengths and sizes so we can agree on the best size and configuration to work for your business. Of course we’ll also take into account your budget.

When we design your unit here’s what we aim for:

• Get the most output from the unit, in line with your targets
• Make the unit efficient and easy to use, so the best till and kitchen efficiency and ease of cleaning
• Like bees to honey, make sure your unit attracts lots of customers
• Keep your business safe and legal

• With a variety of sizes to choose from we will help you plan the best configuration of space and equipment to combine with your plans for output and the number of people in your team. Maximum output, minimum cost
• You want to make sure you can produce the right quality of food, consistently
• You also want to be able to prepare that food in the right flow to satisfy customers, that normally means speed and quantity of cooking and storage of hot food
• If you want to switch the products you sell at different events, we have a special system to allow you to change branding on the trailer
• We make sure your customers will be able to see more of what you’re doing when preparing their food as the floor height of our trailer is designed to be lower than most other trailers, so your serving counters are also lower
• Plus every trailer we supply is type approved by the Vehicle Certification Agency

“Very friendly customer service, great communication, quick turnaround and a brilliant end product.”

There are advantages to both. But here’s the common reasons people choose a trailer over a vehicle conversion:

• You typically pay by pitch frontage at events and festivals. A trailer simply has more service frontage compared with the same amount of space for a vehicle
• With a full-length service hatch you can have multiple till stations, or you can display your food under the noses of your clients. The more they see the more they buy is our experience
• A trailer loses the big weight disadvantages of a van, with both restricted to 3,500 kg you lose the weight of the cab, engine etc. That gives you more carrying capacity and more room
• You can carry more stock so there are less restrictions on volume of sales
• With a long wheelbase panel van as the towing vehicle you can carry more stock, gas, tables and chairs
• You’re not at risk if the vehicle breaks down, you can easily replace just the vehicle, you can’t replace a catering van in the same way
• There’s more space for branding so you can attract people more easily
• The investment in your trailer is less than the cost of a vehicle conversion
• Generally running costs are lower, you can use the towing vehicle elsewhere and spread the costs of vehicle maintenance, MOT, tax etc.

Again, with our experience we can help you choose the best towing vehicle to combine with the storage on your trailer. That way you get the best combination of usable space for how you will set up on site. We also know what vehicles tow best.
