Converting a horse box for catering

bizzyb

I'm looking into the idea of converting a Rice type horse box into a catering trailer, I posted on electrical but the guys over there suggested gas instead. Would it be a big/expensive job to have a gas system installed by a plumber for a hot plate, salamander and fridges. Thanks in advance for any info.

Nice box for horse ��, can't imagine what the burgers will consist of ????

But seriously, the criteria for health &safety, food hygiene is very strict on inspections.
It would be easier to purchase a catering van, or get one manafactured than convert a RICE

4 walls on a chassis is the easiest part.
Cut your box if necessary, but don't portray a horse box & food together.
Quirky idea yes, but common sense says no.














Friend of mine called Andy might be intreasted in a partnership.







DGOBS might be handy for the cooking, he's handy on gas, if you believe everything here.
Garry for the hot water pressurized washing.
K.Flyer for flyers.
Agusta for playing around.
Jim, well he's just himself, give him a burger (any type) and he's happy.

Don't knock it until you have seen one, the are very catching when done right and I have seen many examples in Ireland and the UK of food business's thriving because of there novelty. Thanks for your reply but I was looking for advice on getting gas installed, not food safety, I am a chef I don't need advice on that thank you!

No insult intended as I'm sure you got that.

Best of luck with your idea, but is a RICE big enough for square footage ?
When you take in storage, cooking, preparation and serving counter ?

Not my field of expertise ( I know horse boxes ) ( good horsey box) but not your requirements and knowledge.
But can see where your coming from. 👍

Horse meat burgers will hardly catch on here.
You should do this in France
Could work there

I like the white top
You should have a white top on yours
Gives it a look away from a horse box

Nice catering box, I'm impressed.

Hitch and dropped ramp could be a potential liability. So bear that in mind.
