Catering/cafe - supplier info?

Options
I'm looking into a possible business idea that has recently become more viable as he only other would-be competitor has relocated out of town due to new owners of the town centre wantingto changhe the layout - all of the stall/pop up type shops had been given a date to leave by and this company moved to a different town.
Anyways, so i can get an idea of what equipment costs are, could anyone who works in catering/restauant/small cafe type places share your supplier of equipment - soup tubs, juicers, blenders, ice cream display etc
Thanks loads in advance :)

    Not in entirely the same industry, but we use Ascot Wholesale for some of our equipment. You can generally get a good deal from them if you contact them as opposed to ordering directly from the website.

    I would second Owain's recommendation and also check out the discount area. It was brilliant with plenty of equipmenty type things - perfect for a set up. Good luck.

    Nisbets are actually very good, competitive pricing but also free courier delivery by 9am if you order the day before. I had a duff urn from them, but new one was with me next morning no questions or hesitation. Good prices for comparable consumables too.
  • thank you everyone, going to have a look today then book some business advice from the council - free service helps with business plans etc also any possible grants/loans available etc and they help with finding premises.
