Want the names? Off the record, I’ll whisper a few. Sussex Catering Equipment on Lewes Road often has clearance sales. Their electric combi ovens start around £1,200—that’s peanuts for a commercial-grade beast. Another spot is Coastal Ovens in Portslade. They specialise in reconditioned models and offer free local delivery. Tell them the coffee-lover sent you (they’ll probably look confused, but still).
Also, join Brighton Food Business groups on Facebook. Chefs post equipment they’re selling after closing their pop-ups. I snagged a near-new combi oven for £800 just because the owner was moving to Portugal. Timing is everything.
