What hot dog cart hire includes

The cart has two parts: a stainless steel machine that steams the buns and sausages, and a red wheeled cart that gives it presence and moves it wherever it is needed.

  • Hot dog machine and cart.
  • A server who cooks and assembles the hot dogs.
  • Sausages and buns up to the quantity booked.
  • Sauces and toppings: ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard and crispy onions.
  • Disposable, recyclable trays.
  • Delivery, included in Barcelona; elsewhere quoted to suit the event.

You can also hire it without a server: we then ask for a deposit, refunded when the machine comes back clean and in good order.

How it works at your event

At set-up the machine is filled with water and plugged in. In about 30 minutes the steam has the buns and sausages ready, and from then on service is continuous. The machine has two separate trays, so you can offer two kinds of sausage at once.

Thanks to the wheels, the cart can be moved during the event as long as there is a socket at the new spot. When it is over, the water (about 6 litres) is emptied and we take it away.

Portions, sausages and trays

Allow 35 to 50 hot dogs per hour per machine, depending on the pace of the event. Two hours gives around 70-100. With lots of guests and little time, it is worth hiring more than one machine.

  • Standard sausage: Frankfurter-style chicken and pork, smoked and gluten-free.
  • Other options: bratwurst, chistorra, butifarra, turkey, chicken, vegetarian or vegan. Speciality sausages are quoted separately.
  • Tray: 17 x 5 x 3.5 cm recyclable card, food-safe.

The buns contain gluten. If any guests are coeliac, allergic or vegan, tell us in advance: we can bring gluten-free buns or a separate vegan cart.

A branded hot dog cart

The red cart has room for your branding on the front:

  • A 3 mm Forex PVC panel in full colour, 38 x 51 cm.
  • Side banners with your logo.
  • Custom changes, such as the machine colour, on request.

Printing takes one working week, and we recommend booking at least two weeks ahead if you want branding. Ask us about napkins or trays with your logo. All the options are on our branded food carts page.

Events it suits

It pairs perfectly with our popcorn cart for a full funfair corner.

Technical requirements: space, power and access

  • Power: a 230 V socket within 2 metres. The machine is rated at 2,000 W.
  • Space: the cart, a metre in front for the queue, a spot for supplies and another for waste.
  • Water: somewhere to empty about 6 litres of water at the end.
  • Access: an easy route from the unloading area. Set-up takes 45 minutes to an hour if unloading is close by.

Most clients book one to two months ahead. We clean and disinfect the machine after every event and again before the next.
