Commercial Catering Equipment Auctions UK
Buy commercial kitchen, restaurant, pub, hotel and catering equipment through timed online trade auctions. Lots may include individual appliances, stainless preparation equipment, refrigeration, bar equipment or the contents of a complete kitchen from refurbishments, business disposals, closures and insolvency-related sales.
Catering equipment direct from working venues and refurbishments
Universal Auctions Group runs UK auctions of commercial catering equipment sourced from a few distinct routes: restaurant closures and lease exits, pub disposals, hotel kitchen and bar refurbishments, dark kitchen and ghost-kitchen wind-downs, and contract catering changes where an operator hands a site back. Stock can range from a single piece of working equipment through to a full multi-station kitchen line dismantled for sale.
UAG acts as auctioneer and agent for the seller and does not independently inspect, test or certify the equipment. Descriptions and photographs are based on information supplied by the vendor or otherwise available at listing, and buyers should inspect equipment and arrange appropriate professional testing before putting it back into commercial use.
-
Sales may include combi ovens, convection and deck ovens, ranges, grills, fryers, induction or gas equipment, mixers, food preparation machines, hot cupboards, bain-maries, gantries and other commercial cooking or service equipment. Where supplied by the seller, listings may include make, model, dimensions, electrical phase, gas type and known issues.
-
Lots can include upright and counter refrigeration, display chillers, walk-in cold rooms, blast chillers, ice machines, dishwashers and glasswashers. Buyers should check dimensions, power or water requirements, refrigerant information and whether specialist dismantling or F-gas work is required. Any service or working-status information is seller supplied unless expressly stated otherwise.
-
PAT testing, Gas Safe certification, F-gas compliance and other safety or commissioning certificates are not supplied as standard. Equipment should be treated as requiring the checks appropriate to its type and installation. The buyer is responsible for safe disconnection, removal, transport, installation, testing and recommissioning unless the individual lot expressly states a different arrangement.
-
Catering lots may still be installed in commercial premises. Before bidding, confirm access, dimensions, disconnection requirements, stairs or lifts, loading facilities and whether equipment must be professionally isolated or dismantled. Collection is by appointment after cleared payment and the buyer arranges labour and transport.
