Shorter queues, happier lunchtimes
Caterpods are a cost-effective, compact and stylish catering solution, small enough to push around easily, yet able to serve 160+ pupils in a half-hour break from a single unit.
Ease the pressure on your canteen
Loaded with hot and chilled display equipment, a Caterpod acts as a satellite servery for food prepared in the canteen. You serve more pupils, capture sales that might otherwise be lost, and breathe new life into neglected outdoor areas.
Our British-built kiosks and trailers come in fantastic colours and designs, often created by the pupils themselves. They’re also great for sports days, open days and charity events.
Kiosk or trailer
Both are built to order in your school colours and support 2 to 3 people working.
Caterpod Kiosk
Mounted on heavy-duty castors, a semi-static unit that’s ideal for schools.
- Permanent setup: for high-traffic spots like canteens or main walkways.
- Efficient layout: optimised for high output and quick service at break and lunch.
- Low maintenance: fixed installations mean less handling and upkeep.
- Heavy-duty PU castors: for free-flowing movement on hard surfaces.
- No wheels or tow bar: so fewer trip hazards for pupils.
Caterpod Trailer
Perfect for mobile trading all around the site, and great for school fetes and multi-school solutions.
- Flexibility and mobility: move it for events, sports days or seasonal demand.
- Multi-use: kit it out with hot and cold servery equipment, hot hand wash and more.
- Simple storage: easy to store when not in use.
- Road compliance: fully approved for European road standards.
