We bring our fully-equipped coffee vans straight to you, no plumbing or fuss required.

Java John's made our office launch. The coffee was genuinely the best I've had, and John kept the whole room buzzing all morning. Faultless from start to finish.

We hired the coffee van for our wedding morning and it was the talk of the day. Beautifully presented, the latte art was stunning and our guests adored it. Thank you!

Good To Know

Frequently asked.

Everything you might be wondering before you book. Can't see your question? Just drop us a message — we're happy to help.

Ask a Question
Do you need access to utilities such as electrics & water?

No — our vans are fully self-contained and self-powered, carrying their own water and power, so we can set up almost anywhere, indoors or outdoors. If electrics are available we're happy to use them, but they're never essential.

Do you offer catering & food?

Our speciality is barista-made coffee and hot & cold drinks, but we can add pastries, cakes and light bites on request — and we're happy to work alongside your caterer. Just tell us what you need and we'll tailor a package.

What branding options do you offer?

Plenty — from branded or personalised cups to a styled van and signage to match your event theme or company colours. We love a bespoke touch, so let us know your branding and we'll bring it to life.

How far do you travel?

We cover events right across the UK. Travel within the local area is included in every package; for events further afield a small mileage charge may apply, which we'll always confirm upfront in your quote.

How many guests can you serve?

From intimate gatherings to events with several hundred guests. For larger numbers we simply add more baristas to keep the queue moving and the coffee flowing smoothly.

How much notice do you need?

The earlier the better, especially for weddings and peak dates — but we'll always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests. Get in touch and we'll let you know our availability straight away.

Do you cater for dietary needs?

Absolutely. We carry dairy, oat, soya and other plant-based milks as standard, plus decaf and a range of teas and hot chocolate — so there's something for everyone.

How long does setup take?

Typically around 20–30 minutes from arrival to first pour. We arrive in plenty of time, set up discreetly and pack down tidily once your event is done.
