New items of equipment added!

We've just added 7 new items of quality second-hand catering equipment to the website! There's a real variety of items to choose from, including a bun toaster, turbo conveyor toaster, stock pot stove, manual slicer, food cutter, rice washer and juice dispenser.

Here's a quick overview of two of our favourites, which are perfect to buy in time for the summer...

Juice Dispenser

This twin-tank juice dispenser has only been used once, so it's in fantastic condition and represents a real bargain! Perfect for use in cafes and events over the summer, it is ideal for dispensing chilled fruit juice, milk and squash. Features include a temperature control, drip-free stainless steel taps, and froth-free stirring.

Turbo Conveyor Toaster

This is a great solution for hotels and B&Bs expecting hungry guests at breakfast time this summer. Capable of toasting 700 slices per hour, this really is a lean, mean toasting machine!

warming drawer

Let me warm the cockles of your heart this Valentine’s Day. My previous relationship lasted only 90 days, so I’m still in excellent condition. I’m looking for a friendly chef, GSOH, preferably own kitchen. I have a pre-set thermostat, and like to keep things hot and steamy with my own humidity facility. Don’t be fooled by my cool exterior – I am fully insulated, meaning I’m toasty warm at heart. And now for my real selling-point: I have large removable drawers… perfect for easy cleaning!

Merry Christmas from Mid West

We’d like to wish all our customers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone here at Mid West Catering Equipment. Our office will be closed from 23rd December 2011 to 3rd January 2012, but we’ll be back in the New Year with lots of new pieces of equipment and loads more fab offers.

We know you’ll miss us over the Christmas break, so we thought we’d leave you with this very special Christmas Adoption Appeal…

Bob the Slicer came to us recently after his previous owner was no longer able to look after him. He would make a lovely slicer for any friendly commercial kitchen, and particularly enjoys slicing meat, cheeses and bread. He is a heavy duty slicer, yet he has a good temperament and offers a number of safety features including a blade guard and blade removal tool. Bob the Slicer is always eager to please, and offers both a manual and an automatic mode, as well as giving you accurate and fast portion control. If you think you can offer Bob the kitchen he deserves, please get in touch and help make his New Year a happy one. Thank you.

For a little taster, here’s an overview of a couple of our favourites…

Smeg Oven

A compact, counter-top convection oven ideal for regenerating food or cooking additional menu items in small to medium-sized kitchens. We currently have two of these ovens available, and they are an absolute steal at just £120 + VAT each!


Hobart Mixer

This mixer is great – it comes with three different attachments (beater, whisk and dough hook) and can be used for a huge variety of foods. Ideal for all sorts of kitchens, it can help make all kinds of food, from meringues to dough, to our personal favourite – mashed potatoes. Yum.

Four New Items Added

We’ve just added four new pieces of equipment to the website, so here’s a quick overview.


Bakers Pride P44-S Pizza Oven - £2,100+VAT

A personal favourite of ours, it has two separate baking compartments, each with two shelves and its own temperature control. It’s a great looking piece of kit, and is in really good condition. This pizza oven is not just for cooking pizzas – it’s also ideal for producing pretzels, flat breads, par baked crust, and all sorts of other lovely bakery products!


Sharp R2498G Microwave Oven 1200W - £160+VAT

This commercial microwave has a high wattage for reduced cooking times, and is made from wipe-clean stainless steel. We reckon it’s a real must-have piece of kit, and it’s invaluable for defrosting and regenerating food quickly and reducing serving times.


Foster PROG600H Upright Fridge 610lt - £190+VAT

This is an absolute bargain - we’ve slashed the price as it doesn’t have any shelves or shelf supports, but if you’re replacing a broken fridge or can harvest shelves from an old one, you’re onto a winner! This is a large 610 litre fridge with a single wide entry door for easy access – perfect for a busy kitchen.


Falcon DH22E Hood Dishwasher - £620+VAT

Representing fantastic value for money, this pass-through dishwasher is ideal for schools, canteens and hotels, and would also be great for event catering. Hood dishwashers are always popular items, so if you like the look of this one, we suggest you act fast!
