Thank you for taking the time to look at our Pop-up Cafe business, 

Please by all means get in touch to come and have a coffee with us to see the operation running first hand and discuss your plans (we’re still operating currently throughout the Summer weekends at local events). It’s a really enjoyable business to have - sociable, quality focused and we’ve forged a strong relationship with our local roastery which makes this opportunity tick smoothly!

You’ll see below that we left no stone unturned in establishing ourselves properly, at considerable cost and without cutting corners. There are many coffee vans and trailers out there for sale, what you don’t see is the process, experience and planning that we have had to learn ourselves and can pass on to the purchaser.

Coffee Machine installed

We opted for a 2010 San Marco 85E 12L Auto-fill Automatic Two-group Barista Espresso machine, again for maximum durability, reliability and it’s renowned staying power under pressure - designed to make you money when the queue isn’t slowing up!

It’s a £5,500 machine new, and this particular one had seen barely any use until we purchased it.

This machine is a very high spec bit of kit, more expensive than many fit to a mobile installation, here’s some of the benefits:
