Barista Hire London
Professional Coffee Experiences for Events (2026)
If you’re looking for barista hire in London, you’re likely planning more than just coffee service. In 2026, London-based events demand experience-led hospitality, where premium coffee plays a central role in brand perception, guest engagement and dwell time.
At Barista Hire London, we deliver professional barista services across the capital and nationwide — from mobile coffee bar hire in London and coffee bike hire to fully branded coffee cart activations for corporate events, retail campaigns and private celebrations.
Frequently Asked Question
For most events, our mobile coffee bar hire in London requires a space of approximately 2.5m x 1.5m. Coffee bikes need less room and are ideal for tighter or outdoor spaces. We’ll always confirm the best setup once we understand your venue, guest numbers and footfall.
We usually provide everything required, including baristas, coffee machines, grinders, cups, milk and syrups. For some corporate or exhibition clients who already have their own coffee supply, we can also offer barista-only services or equipment-only options if preferred.
Yes — branding is one of our most popular requests. We regularly deliver branded coffee cart hire in the UK, including custom cups, menus, signage and staff uniforms. This is especially effective for retail activations, exhibitions and product launches where visibility matters.
On average, a professional barista can serve 50–70 drinks per hour depending on the menu and setup. For high-volume events, we scale the service with additional baristas or equipment to ensure smooth service without queues.
While we are London-based, we operate UK-wide. Clients frequently book us for events in Surrey, Hampshire, Birmingham, Manchester and beyond. Many brands choose us because we can deliver the same quality and setup across multiple locations.
