Virginia Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals in Richmond, with Dish and Cold Storage Trailers
Our mobile kitchen trailer rentals keep food service running in Richmond, with dishwashing trailers and emergency refrigeration when the dish room or walk-in is out too. Use them for an emergency closure or a scheduled remodel, on short-term or long-term terms, with weekly and monthly options. Schools, hospitals, hotels, golf and country clubs, and public kitchens keep cooking in them during repairs. Our crew delivers, levels, and connects the trailer, then walks your staff through it before the first meal. Contact us with your dates to check availability and get a quote.

Local planning
Where Richmond projects usually start
1.Your kitchen is closing for renovation
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Richmond and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
2.Power at the site is limited
Our kitchens list 220V single-phase service at 200 to 220 amps. Have an electrician confirm what's available near the parking spot before you pick a size.
3.The health department needs paperwork
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Richmond. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
4.You need a quote for a budget request
Send the location, dates, and equipment list. We'll quote equipment, delivery, setup, and pickup as separate lines so you can budget them.
Projects in Richmond often share delivery planning with nearby Lakeside and East Highland Park; the terms and starting prices are the same in each.

Why choose us
Why food service teams choose Family Entertainment Group USA
Renovations run long, compressors fail on holidays, and inspections don't wait. The point of a rental kitchen is that your food service keeps running on its normal timetable while the real kitchen is torn out, fixed, or replaced.
Accelerated Deployment
We plan the trailer, route, and placement up front, which shortens the time from call to first meal.
24/7 Emergency Service
Breakdowns don't keep office hours, and neither does our phone.
End-to-End Project Support
You get help matching the trailer to your menu, staff, and site before anything ships.
Flexible Rental Solutions
Rent for a week, a month, or a long-term lease that follows your construction schedule.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Equipment lists are published for each trailer, so you know what's inside before it arrives.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Delivery windows, stairs or ramps, and utility hookups are agreed in advance.
Why clients trust us
What you see is what we quote: a named trailer, its listed equipment, a starting monthly price, and a person on the phone any hour. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
In Richmond
Planning a kitchen rental in Richmond
These are the situations that usually lead to a call. Each one is a scenario to plan around, not a description of a specific customer.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
When a storm knocks out power across Richmond and nearby Lakeside, kitchens that lost their walk-ins compete for the same repair crews. Booking refrigerated trailers early keeps product cold while you wait your turn.
2. Major construction
New construction on a campus often closes the old kitchen before the new one opens. A university in Richmond building a new dining hall could bridge the gap with a kitchen trailer rental and a dishwashing trailer.
3. Kitchen renovation
Summer is when schools redo cafeterias. A district in Richmond with summer meal programs could lease a mobile kitchen so the renovation doesn't stop service.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Richmond, Virginia, state and local emergency management direct public relief logistics, staging areas, and road access; the state's page on USA.gov lists its agencies. Our deliveries are separate private arrangements: we confirm the route, site entrance, and placement with you.
5. What a rental costs in Richmond
Budget from $1,895 a month for emergency cold storage in Richmond, $4,995 for a dish trailer, and $4,995 for a full kitchen trailer, by the month or the week. These starting rates apply in every location we serve. Delivery, setup, pickup, utilities, and permits are quoted for your address. Compare every unit's price or build an estimate in the rental calculator.
24/7 emergency line
Emergency kitchen rentals in Richmond
A fire, flood, or failed hood can close a kitchen overnight. Call any hour and have ready: your address, meals per day, the date the kitchen went down, and the power and water available on site.
