Local planning
Where Charleston 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 Charleston and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
2.You serve on reusable trays and plates
Pair the kitchen with a dishwashing trailer so warewashing keeps pace. Volume decides between push-through and conveyor machines.
3.The walk-in cooler or freezer just failed
Call the 24/7 line first. Have the temperature you need and the power near your back door ready, and we'll check refrigerated trailers available for your address.
4.The site entrance is tight
Send photos or a site plan. Long trailers need a clear turning path; we'll confirm the route and placement before the delivery date.

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
Trailers arrive ready for hookup, so setup takes hours rather than days.
24/7 Emergency Service
Call any hour to start an emergency kitchen or refrigeration rental.
End-to-End Project Support
From the first call to the last day on site, you have one contact for the rental.
Flexible Rental Solutions
Short-term rentals for emergencies and long-term leases for rebuilds, on the same terms.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Stainless interiors and commercial appliances sized for real meal counts, not events.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
We coordinate access, setup timing, and pickup so the work around the trailer keeps moving.
Why clients trust us
We don't hide the details. Every trailer page lists its equipment and electrical needs where we have them, every unit shows a starting monthly price, and our line is staffed around the clock. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
In Charleston
Planning a kitchen rental in Charleston
Read these as what-if planning notes. They describe common situations, not customer stories.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
When a storm knocks out power across Charleston and nearby South Charleston, 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
When a hospital adds a wing, utility tie-ins can take the existing kitchen offline in phases. In Charleston, a phased project like that could run food service from a leased mobile kitchen during each shutdown.
3. Kitchen renovation
A nursing home renovating its kitchen still serves three meals a day. In Charleston, a facility like that could rent a kitchen trailer for the build and add a dish trailer to keep using reusable plates.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Charleston, West Virginia, the West Virginia Emergency Management Division and local emergency managers direct public relief logistics, staging areas, and road access. Our deliveries are separate private arrangements: we confirm the route, site entrance, and placement with you, and follow any access limits officials publish.
5. What a rental costs in Charleston
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Charleston; add a dish trailer from $4,995 a month or cold storage from $1,895 a month. 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 Charleston
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.
FAQ
Kitchen rental questions in Charleston
Do you deliver kitchen trailers in Charleston?
Yes. We serve Charleston as part of our nationwide service area. Delivery timing and cost depend on your exact address, the trailer, and site access, and we confirm both in your quote. We have no office in Charleston; trailers are delivered to your site.

Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Charleston?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Charleston, confirm your power and water, and give you a delivery time once availability is confirmed. A refrigerated trailer can come on the same delivery if your walk-in is down too.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation. A person reviews your request, confirms availability for your dates and location, and sends a quote. Equipment is reserved once you accept the quote.
Do temporary kitchen trailers need permits?
Often, yes, but it varies. Health, building, fire, and temporary-use approvals depend on your city or county, your facility, and how the kitchen will be used. Check with your local authorities early; we can share equipment details they ask for.
How long does setup take?
Overall setup is about 5 hours for kitchen and dishwashing trailers and about 1 hour for other units. Stairs take 5 to 15 minutes to place; a ramp, when needed, takes 4 to 6 hours.
