Cafés & pop-ups
Open the side and you are trading
A container café solves two problems at once: it is a distinctive space people actually want to walk up to, and it locks down to a secure steel box the moment you close. No pack-down, no marquee, no overnight security worry.
We build them with full-length side openings, a servery bench, plumbing, three-phase power for coffee gear, and a fit-out finished in your brand. Then it goes wherever the customers are.

FAQ
Container cafés, answered
We build to hospitality standards with the surfaces, hand washing and services that food premises require. Final verification comes from your council under your food control plan, and we will supply what you need for that.
A commercial espresso machine and grinder usually needs three-phase. We wire the unit accordingly, and it can run from a mains connection or a suitably sized generator at events.
Yes, that is the main attraction. It travels on a standard truck like any container, so you can follow markets, festivals and seasonal trade.
Typically six to ten weeks depending on the fit-out and how much joinery and branding is involved. Talk to us early if you are working to a season or an event date.
