THE FRYER ENGINE
• Unique Business Concept
• 5 Star Hygiene Rating
The Fryer Engine is a quirky and eye catching 1975 Mercedes Benz LAF 113 German fire engine converted into a purpose built catering truck. Although mainly geared up for festivals due to the ability to produce high output top quality food, it is also suitable for private hire events. The Fryer Engine has traded at events including Glastonbury, Electric Picnic, Wilderness and many more.
The sale includes the FIRE ENGINE (Bella) & the KITCHEN PREPARATION TRAILER (WOMAP)
THE FIRE ENGINE
A unique addition to the festival scene, Bella has less than 30k miles on the clock and drives. A custom made intercooler was fitted in 2019 which contributes to the power, including a Tubular manifold and stainless steel exhaust system.
The kitchen/serving area is fitted with:
A custom built 3m long under counter fridge
4 twin tank LPG gas fryers with cool zones
Large extraction canopy
Gas interlock system
A custom made chip scuttle
Large Zebrano wooden serving counter
Electric 4 pot Bain Marie
Stainless steel hand wash basin with low amp electric water heater
3kw inverter with a total of 900 amp hours of battery storage and 120 amp 24v battery
charger.
Gas and Electric equipment is fully tested and certificated until October 2024.
Bella is a 4 x 4 which means that while everyone else is sinking in the mud during a wet Glastonbury you get to stay dry working 3’ off the ground. The cooking area is also fitted with a grid style floor to allow for plenty of ventilation during the more sunny warmer weather.
KITCHEN PREPARATION TRAILER
WOMAP (Weapon of Mass Area for Preparation) is a 2019 model 5.25m soft curtain trailer fully kitted out with the following:
• 3 door stainless steel fridge counter top fridge
• Blue Seal oven with gas burner hob
• Bold stainless steel rumbler
• Bold stainless steel chipper
• Washing up station with large sink
• LPG Burco water boiler
• Hose system
• Bold batter mixer
• 6 pot LPG gas Bain Marie.
Again, WOMAP takes you off the ground and marries up alongside Bella to form a walk in/out kitchen to the main serving area, requiring minimum set up upon arrival at events.
