Vintage popcorn cart hire: our large XXL popcorn wagon

The XXL is a large vintage popcorn wagon, quite different from the classic fairground cart. It is a red four-wheel wagon with a roof that stands out in any hall or foyer. On top sits a large-format popcorn machine, ready to serve a lot of people for hours.

It is one single wagon that comes in two versions: this one, with the large popcorn machine, or the large candy floss cart. For smaller guest lists or tight spaces, our classic two-wheel popcorn cart is the more practical choice.

We bring it to your event, set it up, test it and take it away afterwards. All you need to do is tell us where it goes.

• Delivery, set-up and collection by our team.
• Consumables: corn, oil, special salt or sugar and serving boxes.
• Sweet or salted popcorn, coloured popcorn too.
• Optional branding of the wagon and the packaging, quoted separately.

If you need someone to serve, tell us when you ask for a quote and we will add it to suit the event.

A standard popcorn cart serves about 60 boxes an hour. With 300 guests or more, or a stand with visitors all day, that is not enough and queues build up. The XXL carries a bigger machine, so it turns out more popcorn with shorter waits.

The exact number of servings per hour depends on the machine we fit and the box size you choose. We give you the figure in your quote, together with the size, weight and power draw, so you can plan the space and the electrics. For a quick guide, read how much popcorn to allow per person.

What makes the XXL special is the surface area. A big wagon with a roof has far more room than a two-wheel cart, and all of it can carry your branding:

• Sides, facing people walking down the aisle.
• Front, where popcorn is served and photos are taken.
• Roof or canopy, visible above the crowd from across the hall.

Finish the look with custom popcorn boxes: every guest carries your logo around the event. Options, lead times and artwork tips are on our branded food carts page.

The XXL works where there are crowds and plenty of competition for attention. At a trade show, the smell of popcorn and a big red wagon pull visitors onto your stand and give your team an easy way to start a conversation. At a conference, it livens up the breaks between sessions.

• Trade shows and stands: a draw people see and smell from the aisle.
• Conferences: coffee breaks with something different.
• Brand activations and launches: your brand writ large, on the street or in a shopping centre.

It also suits large company parties, family days and festivals.

The XXL is bigger than a classic cart, so it is worth checking the space first. We need:

• A power socket close to where the wagon will stand.
• Room for the wagon plus a metre in front for the queue.
• Easy access from the unloading area to its spot, with no stairs.

We confirm the exact size, weight and power draw in your quote. Send us a floor plan or a few photos of the space and we will tell you whether it fits and where it works best.
