Community Event Hire FAQs
From village fetes and street parties to charity fundraisers and church gatherings, our community event hire services are designed to help organisers create welcoming spaces with food and fun for all ages. We deliver carts and fun-food machines across Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Solihull and West Bromwich, making it easy to plan simple, reliable catering for your neighbourhood event. Here are some of the most common questions we receive.
Which machines and carts are most popular for community events?
Hot food options such as the hot dog cart and nacho machine are firm favourites, keeping crowds fed quickly and affordably. Sweet additions like the candy floss & popcorn machines, doughnut wall and pick n mix stand are ideal for families. For larger fairs, the ice cream cart is a summer essential, while the mulled wine cart is perfect for festive winter markets.
Do you deliver to outdoor sites and community halls?
Yes. We regularly set up at greens, parks, village squares and indoor community centres. Our main routes include Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Solihull and West Bromwich. We also travel to nearby towns like Walsall, Coventry and Stourbridge depending on availability.
How much space and power is required?
Most machines require only a single plug socket and between 1.5 and 2 metres of space. They are compact enough to fit in community halls, school gyms and outdoor gazebos. For large-scale fairs, multiple stations can be spread across different zones to avoid crowding. Explore our full product list for ideas on how to mix machines without taking up too much space.
Do you provide staff to run the machines?
Yes. For bigger community events where organisers already have plenty to manage, our trained staff can operate the stations, serve guests and handle clear-down. For smaller charity events, many groups prefer to self-run simple options such as the pick n mix stand or doughnut wall, and we provide clear instructions to make this easy.
Are your machines safe and hygienic?
All machines are cleaned, sanitised and tested before every hire. From the chocolate fountain to the candy floss machine, every piece of equipment is maintained by our team so it looks smart and works reliably. You can read more about our cleaning standards in our blog.
Can concession stands be themed for local events?
Yes. We can style carts and stands with bunting, signage and colours to fit seasonal themes or community branding. For summer fetes, our Summer Treats range is popular, while for Christmas fairs you'll find plenty of options under Winter Warmers. For inspiration, see our gallery of past set-ups.
