At Cafe Allez!, we provide a premium mobile catering service from our wonderful restored 1972 Citroen HY van, Henri. We are based near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire and can cover much of England.
Henri has a Fracino espresso machine on board so quality barista coffees, delicious hot chocolates and teas are assured.
Delicious cakes are available through our sister company, Allez! Bakes. We can also supply freshly baked pastries, juices, and smoothies for certain events.
We offer a hot breakfast service alongside our coffee shop service for certain events.
Van Henri is also available separately for hire, as a stunning backdrop for your event, or as a servery for your own food and drinks.
For your peace of mind, we hold Public Liability and Product Liability insurance cover at a level of £10M and have been rated the maximum five stars under the national FSA Food Hygiene Rating Scheme.
We've been delighting customers, regular and new, since 2017!

Our Story
We formed Cafe Allez! back in 2017 as both of the founders have a passion for fabulous coffee. Mark loves classic vehicles and is a keen cyclist who knows exactly what makes the ideal cafe stop! Claire is a keen baker and had a long-held dream to open a coffee shop. With extensive corporate and financial experience behind them, the couple decided that Cafe Allez! would be literally the ideal vehicle for them... and an exciting opportunity to create something new and to work together.
Starting as a mobile coffee shop, they went on to open Cafe Allez! Belvoir Castle in 2019. With the help of a superb team, this became a much-loved venue for many and when a lease extension was refused, a multi-thousand signature petition was raised for it to continue...
That wasn't to be, but the adventure was worthwhile and we're now delighted to be focusing squarely on delivering the best mobile coffee shop in the industry...

Fantastic coffee and service
Had had Cafe Allez for our corporate event for the last 2 days, I can say that they did an amazing job. We had numerous comments about the quality of the coffee and how amazing the service was as well. Will definitely be booking again.

Super supplier
Cafe Allez was an ideal partner for our event. Arrived on time as they needed to be in place before the furniture, started serving early for our extra keen guests and the coffee and cakes were delicious. I can thoroughly recommend Cafe Allez.,
