Promotional Coffee Van FAQs
Can the van be branded with our campaign?
Yes – the vans are fully brandable with your artwork, and we add branded 6oz and 8oz cups and the optional coffee printer so the branding goes right down to the surface of the drink.
How many drinks can a coffee van serve in a day?
With a professional barista on board, 500+ drinks a day.
Do you need power or water on site?
The equipment includes water management, so the van looks after its own water supply. We confirm site practicalities with you before the campaign.
