HMS Invincible was host to the Queen and other international VIP's during the Trafalgar 200 celebrations.

The events, held aboard the ship, required extra catering facilities for which the Royal Navy turned to PKL to provide a portable kitchen facility.

Docked in Portsmouth the portable kitchens, pre fitted with the catering equipment, were craned onto the deck of the ship and lowered down the flight deck before being secured in place, as the ship would be at sea during the events.

Event Catering Equipment at London Fashion Week

Event catering allows no second chances. Our experience in event catering has allowed us to develop innovations targeted to this market such as mobile canopies, which were used to create the kitchen at London Fashion week.

A marquee structure was erected to form the dining and kitchen areas. Within 1 day PKL installed mobile extraction canopies and catering equipment into the space creating a commercial kitchen facility.

The mobile canopies have all the health and safety features of fitted extraction and arrive pre-fitted with equipment for immediate use. Our experience providing facilities for event catering has allowed us to adapt our service by offering event babysitting services by a specialist PKL event catering engineer.
