Hot chocolate cart hire for events

We bring a hot chocolate station ready to serve from the first minute:

• The stand and dispensers, with everything needed to serve.
• Chocolate and cups in the quantity booked.
• Staff to serve your guests.
• Delivery, set-up and collection: 30 minutes to set up and another 30 to pack away.

Depending on the format, toppings or extras can be added. Ask us what is available for your event.

Our team gets the station ready before your guests arrive. The chocolate stays hot in the dispensers throughout the service and every guest gets a freshly poured cup.

Service runs non-stop for the hours booked. The smell of chocolate draws people in by itself, so the stand quickly becomes a meeting point, especially at outdoor winter events.

Each dispenser holds 10 litres, enough for about 55 cups of 180 ml. That makes planning easy: count your guests, think about how many will come back for more and book the litres you need. With big crowds we top up during the service.

We keep an eye on temperature: we serve it at 65 to 70 °C, its ideal point, and never above 75 °C. Over 80 °C chocolate burns and loses flavour.

The chocolate contains milk and may contain soya. The full allergen sheet is available.

A hot chocolate stand is a great place for your brand: the front panel and the top sign can carry your logo and message instead of the generic lettering.

Since every guest walks away with a cup in hand, you can also ask us about cups and napkins with your logo, depending on quantities and lead times. That way your brand travels around the venue. More on our branded food carts page.

Allow around two weeks to prepare the graphics.

• Christmas: company dinners and parties, Christmas markets, ice rinks. See Christmas event food carts.
• Winter trade shows and conferences, as a welcome or during breaks. See food carts for conferences.
• Brand activations and shopping centres. See brand activation food carts.
• Winter weddings, communions and family parties.
• Outdoor school and sports events.

Each dispenser measures 57 x 40 x 32 cm (H x W x D) and weighs 10 kg. For the full stand we need:

• A level area of 300 x 250 cm (W x D), with room for guests to come up.
• A standard socket: the dispenser draws 400 W.

Before opening we check the equipment and the chocolate temperature.

Christmas dates fill up early, so it pays to book ahead. To prepare your proposal we need:

• The date and times of the event and the service.
• The full address and an on-site contact.
• An approximate guest count, to work out litres and cups.
• Whether you want branding, so we can allow production time.

Your booking is confirmed with a 50% advance payment. If your event runs for several days, such as a Christmas market or an ice rink, we will put together a proposal for the whole period.
