Higher Food Prices Create Need for Seasonal Refrigeration
.jpg?updated=1556013927)
The pending festivities means more business for restaurants, pubs, hotels, and caterers. It also means more seasonal, external refrigeration solutions to account for the increased stock commercial kitchens will need to keep on hand. If you run a food service operation, have you thought about seasonal refrigeration yet? If not, try this for motivation: the average price of the cheapest Christmas meal has gone up an estimated 18% this year.
According to a 28th November report published by The Guardian, average retail food prices have caused the cost of a typical Christmas dinner for eight people to surge to more than £25. This represents an 18% increase over the same meal prepared last year. Behind the increase is increased inflation and ongoing Brexit fears.
While it is true that commercial kitchens pay less than retail for their foodstuffs, they are still paying more this year as well. Everything from dairy products to meats to fruits and vegetables is more expensive. You cannot afford to throw away any food that spoils due to inadequate seasonal refrigeration. You also cannot afford to pay higher prices because you do not have the external refrigeration that would otherwise allow you to order in larger quantities.
How We Can Help
Icecool Trailers can help by providing the external refrigeration you need at a reasonable price. Our refrigerated trailers and walk-in cold rooms are a much better option compared to refrigerated van hire because you get more dedicated cold storage space without the responsibility of renting the entire vehicle complete with engine and wheels.
It only takes one phone call to arrange delivery of a trailer or walk-in cold room for your seasonal operations. Trailers are the better solution when there is insufficient interior space to install a walk-in cold room or freezer. If you do have the interior space, a walk-in room puts your cold storage closer to where work is being done. Walk-in rooms also reduce security risks at the same time.
Regardless of the unit you choose, an Icecool Trailers technician will deliver and set it up for you. All we need is enough space to accommodate the unit and a source of mains power. If no mains power is available for an exterior installation, our unit can be run off a separate generator.
Prepare for the Festivities Now
It is going to cost you more to serve those festive dinners to the many guests you will be receiving this Christmas period. Don't risk losing money by not having enough external refrigeration to accommodate your needs. Instead, contact Icecool Trailers so we can get started planning for your festive success.
Christmas will be here before you know it. Make the most of it by arranging for delivery of a refrigerated trailer or walk-in cold room from Icecool Trailers. We are proud to serve the Greater London area as well as Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and most other locations in the southern portion of England and South Wales.
