Coffee Van Hire in Fareham

Cupper Joe is a pop-up coffee shop and their focus is all about giving the best drinks they can, including a range of speciality coffee, teas and divine hot chocolate! They have some great tips for when you are looking to hire a similar service.

What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

I like to know the simple things - location, date and time are obviously big pieces of information. If you expand on it to explain the type of event and where our offer fits into it, that helps to give us a bigger picture of what you'd like from us. We need to have an idea on the number of guests, the type of offer that is required (if you will pay for all drinks or would like your guests to pay for them etc.) and if there is electricity or water available for that location. Add to Event helps with this as it guides you through some questions but the more information you provide us, the easier it is to give you a more accurate quote.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I'd recommend they ask questions about the type of coffee and other drinks that are used and try to understand the quality of the core ingredients, because if it's not great when you start then you can't change that in the way you make a drink (though you can obviously make it worse if you're not careful). That's why we're passionate about providing a great service with great tasting drinks. We source high-quality coffee, tea and hot chocolate to deliver a taste that will have people wanting more. We also engage in carefully training our baristas to produce the best drinks and make sure we get the best out of every single bean.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

Cupper Joe started from a love of great coffee. I wanted to share that with as many people as possible and I love the challenge of providing fantastic service and drinks for a variety of different events.
I specifically started Cupper Joe in order to provide amazing speciality coffee to people at weddings and events. I'd love to work with you to make the hot drinks really stand out at your event.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

I definitely would (and do) recommend Add to Event to other caterers and people looking to find (essentially) anything for an event.
The platform is very simple to use and from a caterers perspective, you can get good leads from it, which are simple to follow-up on and keep track of.
I've had several bookings through Add to Event, notably working at a charity event last summer. We were able to provide a variety of drinks, including delicious iced tea with homemade syrup and got a 5-star review at the end.
