Inside This Week’s Restaurant Equipment Auction Market – 8 Upcoming Sales inc Commercial Kitchen Gear, Rotary Rack Ovens & Wine Cellar Stock

This is a small, tightly packed eight-lot sale, so the appeal is in the spread rather than the volume. Kitchen operators get the practical end: a stainless steel commercial bain marie and a St George oven that the vendor states is still working, though you will want to satisfy yourself on that before bidding. Metal garage shelving rounds out the functional gear, and it is pick-up only, so factor transport into your plans.

The rest of the catalogue leans collectable. There is Bohemia crystal, a ceramic coffee set in an olive and brown ribbed design, and several assorted collections of ceramic mugs and tankards alongside commemorative metal tankards. Buyers chasing single pieces or filling gaps in a collection will find plenty to sort through across those lots.

Everything sells as-is, so read each lot description closely. With only eight lots closing on 10 November, it pays to check the pick-up arrangements and condition notes early rather than on the day.

This is a restaurant closure sale, and the cellar list reads like a who’s who of small producer Australian wine. Lucy M appears across multiple lots, including the Sangiovese Barbera Nebbiolo 2024 and Home Block Pinot Noir Franc 2024. Jauma shows up repeatedly too, with the Like Raindrops Grenache 2023 and Morellos Shiraz Rose among the highlights.

Imported gear is well represented. Look for Le Vignes de Babass Groll n Roll Grolleau 2022, Bruno Dubois Saumur Champigny Plume Cab Franc 2021, Claus Preisinger Bonsai Blaufrankisch 2022 and Julien Guillot Macon Rouge Gamay 2020. There’s also a solid run of Bandicoot Run pinot and chardonnay, plus Limus riesling and pinot noir.

Beyond the wine, there’s an aperitif lot with Saison Blackcurrant Leaf Gin Amaro, Vin Amara Marigold and Spring Rhubarb Vermouth, plus imported whites, cider, and a 40-piece Gabriel-Glas glass and decanter lot that would suit a venue restocking or a serious home setup. mgs has run commercial and estate sales out of Kilkenny since 1980. Bidding closes 18 November.

This is a full commercial kitchen and catering package rather than a random assortment of secondhand gear. The cool room alone, at 4000mm x 2200mm x 2280mm with doors, is the kind of item that rarely comes up outside a full venue closure, and it anchors a list that covers cold storage, prep, cooking and display.

The cooking side is well covered: a Computron 8000 gas pressure fryer, double gas deep fryers, a large chicken rotisserie, a 600mm gas flat griddle and a commercial gas naan and Lebanese flatbread oven. For prep and service there’s a three-door composite prep bench fridge, a stainless steel salad and pizza prep fridge, a single-door upright fridge, a five-layer food warmer and an electric automatic pizza dough roller.

Lloyds is running this as a multi-lot online auction across vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and general goods, so the kitchen lots sit alongside plenty else. Buyers should check dimensions and power or gas requirements against their own site before bidding, particularly on the cool room and the larger cooking units.

This is a practical sale for anyone outfitting a cafe, restaurant or events operation. The Winterhalter UF-XL pot washer is the headline unit, a serious piece of kit for high-volume dishwashing. Cooking gear covers a Blue Seal commercial gas range cooker, a Mercury four-burner gas barbecue grill, a Welbilt portable barbecue and a commercial stainless steel griddle with double plates.

Stainless steel benches appear across several lots, including a 1830mm-wide unit and a two-piece sink bench, which makes for a straightforward way to fit out a prep area. Smaller items round it out: a Birko bain marie, an electric warming pot, and a WNS-G01 syrup dispensing machine.

Lloyds is running this as a multi-lot online auction alongside vehicles, jewellery, collectables and plant, so check each listing for condition and pickup details before bidding.

Ross’s runs regular online, live and in-house auctions out of Perth, and this Welshpool sale covers commercial catering equipment and kitchenware for restaurants and food businesses. The catalogue suits anyone fitting out a kitchen, upgrading gear or restocking a venue.

Ross’s regular auctions also take in WA Police forfeited items, machinery, business closures and vehicles, so the wider catalogue is worth a look beyond the catering lots. Business closure stock often means practical commercial equipment at working prices.

Bidding closes 24 November at the Welshpool Complex on Orrong Road. Check the lot list and inspection details before you bid.
