A food cart generator needs enough power to keep service moving when the coffee machine, fridge, lights and cooking equipment are all working at once. Our range runs from compact 2,200-watt inverter models for lighter setups to 7,000 and 8,000-watt generators for busier vans, festival pitches and mobile kitchens with several high-draw appliances. Inverter models are a good fit for sensitive equipment such as card readers and electronic controls, while larger open-frame petrol and dual-fuel generators give you more capacity for equipment with a high start-up demand. Before you choose, add up the running wattage of everything you’ll use together, then allow extra headroom for compressors, pumps and motors starting up. That’ll help you avoid nuisance cut-outs and choose a generator that’ll keep your setup running through a full service.
