Planning a party, wedding, school celebration or corporate event in London? The food and entertainment you choose can completely transform the atmosphere.
Interactive food stations give guests more than something delicious to eat—they create an experience. From the irresistible aroma of freshly prepared gourmet popcorn to beautifully presented soft-serve ice cream, here are ten fun food hire ideas your guests will love.
1. Gourmet Popcorn Cart
A traditional popcorn cart instantly creates a fun cinema or fairground atmosphere.
At CandyPop Hire London, our gourmet popcorn is prepared using extra-large mushroom kernels cooked in premium butter and seasoned to perfection. Choose sweet, salted or a mixture of both, served in premium cinema-style popcorn boxes.
Add neon popcorn lighting for movie nights, product launches, office celebrations and themed parties.
2. Soft-Serve Ice Cream Machine
Few things attract guests faster than freshly served Mr Whippy-style ice cream.
Create a premium dessert experience with vanilla soft serve, wafer cones, 99 Flakes, Belgian chocolate and strawberry sauces, sprinkles, Oreo crumbs and Biscoff crumbs.
Our ice cream machine can also be presented with our stylish Luxe Cart, making it ideal for weddings, corporate events, birthdays and luxury celebrations.
3. Slush Machine
A slush machine adds colour and excitement to any event.
Popular flavours include Blue Raspberry, Strawberry, Mango and Orange, Bubblegum, Piña Colada, Lime and Margarita. Our children’s slush options are glycerol-free, making them suitable for school events and children’s parties.
Choose a double- or triple-tank machine depending on your guest numbers.
4. Candyfloss Cart
Freshly spun candyfloss provides fantastic entertainment because guests can watch it being prepared in front of them.
Pink vanilla and blue raspberry are always popular, with other flavours also available. A traditional candyfloss cart works particularly well at school fairs, family fun days, birthdays, weddings and large corporate celebrations.
5. Premium Sweet Cart
A beautifully decorated sweet cart creates an impressive centrepiece while allowing guests to choose their favourites.
Our premium sweet-cart packages can include elegant glass jars, quality pick ’n’ mix sweets, scoops, tongs and sweet bags. The display can be adapted for weddings, birthdays, corporate branding or a traditional old-fashioned sweet-shop theme.
6. Mini Dutch Pancake Station
Mini Dutch pancakes are prepared fresh and served warm with a choice of delicious toppings.
Guests can enjoy combinations such as Belgian chocolate sauce, strawberries, Biscoff crumbs, Oreo crumbs and sprinkles. Their small size makes them easy to serve and perfect for guests who want to try several toppings.
7. Fresh Crêpe Station
A live crêpe station adds theatre, aroma and interaction to your event.
Each crêpe is freshly prepared and finished with the guest’s chosen toppings. This works beautifully at weddings, evening receptions, Christmas celebrations, corporate events and luxury private parties.
8. Chocolate Fountain
A flowing chocolate fountain creates an eye-catching dessert display that guests naturally gather around.
Serve it with strawberries, marshmallows, brownies, profiteroles and other dipping treats. For an even more impressive presentation, add a colour-changing LED base beneath the fountain.
9. Hot Dog Station
A hot dog machine is perfect for cinema-themed parties, school events, corporate celebrations and late-night wedding food.
Our smokeless hot dog steamer can be used indoors and can include chicken, turkey, vegetarian or vegan hot dogs. Pair it with popcorn and slush to create the complete cinema experience.
10. Waffles on Sticks
Fresh waffles on sticks are convenient, attractive and easy to personalise.
Guests can choose their sauces and toppings without needing a plate and cutlery. They are particularly popular for children’s parties, exhibitions, weddings and events where guests are moving around the venue.
Which Food Station Should You Choose?
Consider the following when selecting your machines:
• Your number of guests
• The type and theme of the event
• Whether the event is indoors or outdoors
• The age range of your guests
• Available power, water and setup space
• Allergies and dietary requirements
• Whether you want staffed service or self-service hire
For smaller events, one or two carefully selected machines may be enough. For larger celebrations, combining three or four services can create a complete interactive food area.
Popular combinations include:
• Popcorn, slush and hot dogs for a cinema experience
• Ice cream, candyfloss and popcorn for children’s parties
• Crêpes, mini pancakes and chocolate fountain for dessert lovers
• Sweet cart and ice cream for weddings
• Branded popcorn, candyfloss and slush machines for corporate events
