PAT Testing for Mobile Catering
Mobile catering businesses - food vans, street food traders, and mobile caterers - rely heavily on portable electrical equipment. From fridges and bain-maries to coffee machines and card readers, all your electrical equipment needs regular PAT testing to comply with food hygiene regulations and electrical safety law.
Why Mobile Caterers Need PAT Testing
Mobile catering environments are tougher on electrical equipment than a fixed kitchen. Your equipment is transported daily, exposed to vibration, temperature changes, and sometimes moisture. Cables get kinked, plugs get knocked, and connections loosen over time. Regular PAT testing catches these developing faults before they become dangerous.
Environmental Health Officers inspect mobile catering businesses, and electrical safety is part of their remit. Having current PAT testing certificates demonstrates compliance and professionalism.
Equipment We Test
- Fridges, freezers, and cold display units
- Bain-maries and hot holding units
- Coffee machines and urns
- Griddles, fryers, and contact grills
- Blenders, food processors, and mixers
- Card payment terminals and tills
- Extension leads and cable reels
- Generators (portable types)

Testing Frequency
Due to the mobile nature of your equipment, we recommend testing every 6 months rather than annually. The constant movement and setup/teardown cycle puts more stress on your equipment than a static installation.
