A Coffee Experience That Fits Your Working Day
A good office coffee event should feel easy for the organiser and enjoyable for the guests. We plan the service around when people will arrive, how long they have to order and where the coffee station can operate comfortably.
For a staff appreciation morning, that might mean serving before meetings begin. For an office opening, it could be a coffee cart in the reception area welcoming employees and visitors. At a client event, a professional coffee bar gives guests somewhere to pause and chat between presentations.
We recommend the staffing and equipment based on your drinks allowance and service window. A hundred guests ordering throughout a morning creates a different demand from a hundred delegates arriving during one short break.
Our mobile coffee bar hire in London can be adapted to both formats, with the practical details agreed before the event.
Corporate Coffee Hire Packages
Our packages include professional coffee equipment, ingredients, cups and lids, fresh-water and waste-water management, setup and breakdown. Branding, additional drinks, extended service and any specific access or travel charges are confirmed in your quotation.
Coffee Bike Reception — From £950 + VAT
Our coffee bike package provides two hours of service with a professional barista and an allowance of approximately 100 drinks. It is a distinctive option for a company reception, showroom event or smaller staff gathering where guests arrive gradually.
The bike combines a complete espresso setup with a memorable appearance. We check access and positioning in advance, particularly for indoor venues, courtyards and reception areas. Explore our coffee bike hire in London to see the format.
Office Coffee Cart — From £1,250 + VAT
Our coffee cart package includes three hours of service with one professional barista, a commercial espresso machine and grinder, coffee, semi-skimmed and oat milk, standard cups and lids, setup and breakdown. Your drinks allowance is agreed in the quotation.
This is our recommended starting point for office mornings, staff appreciation events and company launches with a steady flow of guests. Where everyone needs a drink within a short period, a two-barista setup starts from £1,450 + VAT.
Full-Day Corporate Coffee Bar — From £2,350 + VAT
For longer conferences and busy corporate hospitality events, our two-barista package provides up to eight hours of service with an allowance of approximately 350 drinks.
This format supports guests throughout the day, from arrival coffee to refreshments between sessions. For concentrated conference breaks or larger attendance, we can recommend additional capacity or multiple stations.
For events taking place on an exhibition stand, our dedicated coffee service for exhibitions and conferences explains the available arrangements.
Frequently Asked Question
How much does corporate coffee hire in London cost?
Our coffee bike package starts from £950 + VAT for two hours and approximately 100 drinks. A three-hour coffee cart package starts from £1,250 + VAT with one barista. Longer events, additional staffing, branding and higher drinks allowances are priced according to the brief.
Can you bring a coffee cart into our office?
Yes, subject to suitable access, operating space and power. We check the loading route, doorways, lift dimensions and proposed position before confirming the equipment. Our compact cart has a footprint of approximately 1.2 metres by 0.6 metres, with additional space needed for staff and guests.
Do we need to provide a water connection?
A permanent water connection is usually unnecessary. We bring fresh-water and waste-water containers and manage them as part of the service. For longer bookings, we agree replenishment and disposal arrangements with your venue.
How many baristas will our corporate event need?
The recommendation depends on drinks quantities, menu and service timing. One barista can suit a steady office morning, while two baristas or additional stations may be appropriate when guests arrive together during a short break.
Can we book regular office coffee mornings?
Yes. We can prepare a proposal for a recurring series or several consecutive event days. Pricing reflects the schedule, drinks allowance, staffing and whether equipment can remain securely onsite between bookings.
How far ahead should we book branded cups?
Allow 10–15 working days for branded cups wherever possible. Stickers typically require 5–7 working days. We confirm the production timetable once the artwork, quantities and booking are agreed.
Freshly Prepared Coffee, Made to Order
Our core menu includes espresso, americano, flat white, cappuccino and latte, with iced latte available where included in your chosen package. We also offer tea and hot chocolate, making the station welcoming for guests who prefer something other than coffee.
Semi-skimmed and oat milk are available, and decaffeinated coffee can be arranged in advance. Vanilla and other flavour options can be incorporated into the agreed menu.
We keep the selection appropriate to your audience and service time. A clear menu helps guests order easily, while our baristas prepare each drink to their preference.
You can read more about why we developed our own coffee for events and the thinking behind our event coffee service.
Branded Coffee Carts and Cups for Your Company
For an office opening, product launch or customer event, branding can make the coffee station feel part of the occasion. We can arrange company-branded cart panels, printed cups and menu signage to complement your campaign artwork.
Cart panel branding typically starts from £450 + VAT, depending on the setup and coverage. As a guide, 500 branded hot cups start from £375 + VAT. The final specification and production cost are confirmed before ordering.
Branded cups normally require 10–15 working days, while stickers typically require 5–7 working days. Early confirmation gives us time to prepare artwork, arrange printing and have everything ready for your event.
Send your artwork in PDF format and we will confirm the print requirements. Our branded coffee cart hire service explains the options for company events and campaigns.

Real Coffee and Matcha Events Delivered by Our Team
Levi’s Multi-Store Coffee Activation
For Levi’s “Baggy Season” campaign, our team delivered coffee service across stores on Regent Street and Brompton Road in London, alongside Ashford and Manchester. The project involved coordinating different store layouts and maintaining consistent presentation across the campaign.
That experience is relevant to businesses planning launches across several offices, showrooms or retail locations. Read our Levi’s coffee bar activation case study to see the delivery behind the campaign.
Four Days of Coffee at RAI Amsterdam
In September 2026, Barista Hire London delivered a four-day exhibition coffee service at RAI Amsterdam, serving more than 1,000 barista-made drinks over the event.
Our team coordinated transport, professional equipment, setup, daily service and water management. The project demonstrates the operational preparation behind a sustained event coffee service. Explore the RAI Amsterdam coffee cart and barista hire case study.
Coffee and Matcha for Google in Paris
At Google’s September 2026 event at Palais Brongniart, our connected teams delivered two professional coffee stations alongside a dedicated matcha cart. Personalised coffee printing and a bespoke matcha menu added different experiences within one coordinated drinks operation.
For businesses considering coffee with a specialist matcha offering, the Google Paris matcha activation case study shows how the services worked together.
Space, Power and Water Requirements
Our compact coffee cart measures approximately 1.2 metres wide by 0.6 metres deep. This is the cart footprint; we also need working space behind it and room for guests to order safely. Larger modular setups are available when additional counter space is required.
Fresh water and waste-water containers are managed within the station, so a permanent plumbing connection is usually unnecessary. For longer events, we agree suitable water replenishment and waste disposal arrangements with the venue.
We recommend two suitable 13-amp power sockets per coffee station. Some configurations can operate from one appropriate supply, but we confirm the electrical requirements for your equipment before booking. Power should be close to the agreed coffee position.
Milk is kept chilled using cool boxes and ice. If your venue has specific requirements for catering equipment or storage, we incorporate those into the event plan.
Setup Planned Around Your Venue
We normally arrive 60–90 minutes before service to unload, install and test the equipment. Breakdown usually takes approximately 45–60 minutes after service ends.
For office buildings, we coordinate loading bays, parking, security passes, lift access and the route to your floor. Sharing the venue’s access instructions early helps us plan an arrival time that works with your schedule.
If you already have a suitable counter, we can assess whether the equipment can operate from it. The worktop needs appropriate strength, space and access for cables and water lines. Where required, we can liaise with your venue or fit-out team before installation.
Add Matcha or an Evening Drinks Experience
Coffee can form part of a broader company event. A specialist matcha bar in London adds hot, iced and flavoured matcha options, while a separate station can help manage demand at larger bookings.
If your programme continues into an evening reception, our related business Cocktails With Mario can provide Christmas party bar hire in London. For a participatory staff event, its cocktail-making team-building experiences offer another option alongside the daytime coffee service.
Each service is quoted around your requirements, with staffing, equipment and timings coordinated in advance.
