Good question. Our standard packages include 50 or 100 hot drinks. Having a minimum number of cups allows us to keep our pricing as low as possible, while still offering a range of extras for clients who would like a more customised or premium service. We also have extensive experience at providing coffee catering for large conferences and events that run across multiple days.

Yes, we do have a range of dry hire carts, where you can hire a cart without an attendant, food or equipment.

We have a big collection of carts, which is perfect if you’re looking for a range of very similar looking carts for a larger event!
