Kitchen pod hire: your whole kitchen in a pod on the drive
Kitchen pod hire puts a fitted kitchen on your driveway for the weeks your own kitchen is out: oven, hob, hot-water sink and fridge freezer in one towable pod. Pick 10ft, 12ft or 14ft and check your dates in five taps.
No obligation. Pick the size, the weeks and the date that suit you.
A kitchen pod is a real kitchen, not a camping stove
A kitchen pod is a white box trailer fitted out inside as a family kitchen. It parks on your drive, plugs into your house power, takes water from your outside tap, and does the job of your kitchen for as long as the building work lasts.
You walk in through the door, turn the lights on and cook at a proper worktop. The oven heats up like your own. The sink runs hot. The fridge freezer holds the weekly shop. When the builders pack up for the day, you make tea at home, the same as always.
Some people call it a temporary kitchen pod, a mobile kitchen pod or a portable kitchen pod. Some search for kitchen pod rental. Same thing: a working kitchen outside while the one inside is stripped out, rebuilt or dried out after a leak.
Every pod goes out in the same livery you see on this page, with the yellow, blue and navy waves along the side, so your neighbours know exactly what it is. The trailer page covers the chassis, the door and step, and how we tow it in.
Inside a 12ft Family pod: oven and hob on one side, sink and washing machine on the other.

Why a kitchen pod beats a microwave in the lounge
The usual plan is a microwave on the dining table, a kettle on the stairs and a lot of takeaways. It works for a weekend. Across a six-week refit it wears the whole family down.
Proper meals
An oven and four rings mean roasts, pasta bakes and fish fingers for the kids, not another round of ready meals.
Hot water on tap
A real sink with hot and cold water. No more scrubbing pans in the bath or the bathroom basin.
Room for the food shop
A fridge freezer and cupboards, so you shop once a week instead of every evening on the way home.
Laundry carries on
The 12ft and 14ft pods carry a washing machine. School uniforms and work shirts stay out of the laundrette.
Six weeks of dinners at home, starting the day the old kitchen comes out.

Kitchen pod hire questions
What is a kitchen pod?
A kitchen pod is a self-contained kitchen in a towable box that parks on your driveway. Ours has an electric oven, 4-ring hob, extractor, sink with hot and cold water, fridge freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and cupboards, with a washing machine and dishwasher in the bigger sizes.
Is a kitchen pod the same as a temporary kitchen?
Yes. People search for temporary kitchen pods, mobile kitchen pods, portable kitchen pods and kitchen pod rental, and they all mean the same thing: a working kitchen outside while the one inside is being replaced or repaired.
How is the pod powered?
It plugs into your household power and takes water from your outside tap. We make both connections when we deliver.
Can I extend the hire if the builders run late?
Yes. Kitchen pod hire runs by the week and you extend a week at a time. Tell us before the end of your booked weeks and the pod stays put.
What is the minimum hire?
Hire runs by the week, and you extend a week at a time if the build runs on.
