Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 100 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Customers frequently reported receiving products that were damaged, faulty, or of poor quality, often arriving with missing parts or failing shortly after purchase, such as ovens failing, gantries missing fittings, or items breaking quickly. Many people also experienced extremely poor customer service, characterized by ignored emails, unanswered phone calls, unhelpful responses, and a general lack of communication regarding issues like returns, refunds, or delivery problems. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied with the product quality, describing items as robust, simple to operate, and working well, like meat slicers or other equipment. Some reviewers also mentioned positive experiences with delivery, noting that items arrived fast, on time, and in good order, meeting their expectations.

Machine not good working sorting wrong

Machine not good working sorting wrong. I try change machine but company not do it.
They say "bring in a technician, prepare a report, and then we'll process it," and they expect me to pay the technician's fee. It's a terrible company; definitely don't do business with them.

If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would. Sent a faulty item which we spent nearly three hours trying to build. So slow to reply to any messages. Don't answer the phone. refuse refunds. refuse to take returns. I wish I had read reviews of this company before I ordered. Don't waste your time.

Great products

Great products, good after-sales, true to their word and although the prices may seem cheap, the products are of solid quality. 1 item arrived damaged, followed their policy, was abit lengthy and honestly could do with reviewing but we got there in the end and as an apology they didnt just send me the replacement but a whole new unit.

I placed an order and paid for a Popcorn machine

I placed an order and paid for a Pop Corn Machine on 27th of March and was confirmed to be delivered within 2-4 Working days and 2 weeks after I contacted KRD Catering and was told
It was at a courier depot and they would tell them to release and deliver. Another week goes by and still not arrived so contacted them again to be told
It had been damaged and that they would send a replacement which another week went by and No delivery…..I had to contact them again to be told this was out of stock and they have a more expensive machine and they would give me a 5% discount off the price. I emailed KRD Catering to say that I wanted a full
Refund as I wanted the size i ordered and that I would have to order from another supplier and Now another week has gone by with No reply to my email and No Refund even though I sent them all the bank details as well as contact number.
Very Bad Customer Service……

KRD have been nothing but irresponsible…

KRD have been nothing but irresponsible for their actions against the faulty item they delivered, I spoke to them 9 days of receiving this (which is well within their 14 days window) which they refused a refund and to collect the item!  Disgusting behaviour and as they know under the consumer rights act, for a faulty item I have the right to a full refund.

• I purchased the fridge online and filled in all my details for delivery
• KRD Catering office on transferring the details to the delivery driver for delivery , transferred across the wrong postcode. This resulted in a failed delivery and somebody waiting in at the right address for this to be delivered.
• The fridge was scheduled for delivery on the 6th of March, however, this did not arrive till the 9th March 09:39 (due to wrong postcode/ failed delivery)
• Following installation and leaving the fridge plugged in for 24 hrs we noticed it was leaking.
• I contacted their customer support on the 18th March to complain and ask for a resolution. (which is well within their 14 days window to notify the of any faults, etc )
• They have since fobbed me off with one excuse after another and are unwilling to help.

I've had no other option but to take this up with a small claims court!!!

This company needs reporting.

KEEP WELL AWAY!!!!!!

I ordered the KRD Countertop 2.2kw Electric Flat Smooth Griddle 365x480x220mm KEG-810 it came damaged. When I contacted them they offered only £6 off and said if I want to return it have to pay for my own return. The service provided was unacceptable and the item was very damaged. I have a video i could upload. I wouldn't recommend anyone to purchase from them.

The product I received does not perform…

The product I received does not perform as expected and is not fit for purpose. Despite this, their customer service has been extremely frustrating and unhelpful.

I have provided clear explanations and evidence multiple times, yet they continue to repeat the same responses and delay the process instead of offering a resolution. Each time I respond, they ask for more tests or repeat the same instructions, which feels like deliberate stalling.

They are now claiming the unit requires water to function, which is not stated anywhere in the product listing or manual. This is a fundamental detail that should have been made clear before purchase. Had it been disclosed, I would not have bought the product.

Rather than taking responsibility, they are avoiding issuing a return or refund and prolonging the situation unnecessarily.

Very poor experience from both a product and customer service perspective. I would strongly recommend avoiding.

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THE COMPANY

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THE COMPANY
I am extremely dissatisfied with the products and service provided by KRD Catering Equipment.
I purchased two display fridges for my business, both of which have proven to be defective. One unit was delivered in an unacceptable and visibly poor condition, raising immediate concerns about quality control. The second unit failed completely within a matter of weeks, which is wholly unacceptable for newly purchased commercial equipment.
Equally concerning is the lack of adequate customer support. I made repeated attempts over three days to contact the company, experiencing delays and a clear lack of responsiveness. When I finally received a response, I was informed that I would need to arrange and pay for my own technician, as they claim the issue is not covered under warranty.
This position is both unreasonable and unacceptable. Supplying faulty goods and then refusing to take responsibility undermines basic consumer rights and demonstrates a serious disregard for after-sales obligations.
Based on this experience, I cannot recommend KRD Catering Equipment. I strongly urge the company to review its quality control processes and customer service standards.
