Luxury Hot Chocolate Bars & Carts

There is something instantly comforting about a proper hot chocolate, especially during autumn and winter. But at ASJ Catering & Events, we believe a hot chocolate cart should offer much more than one standard drink.

Our fully staffed hot chocolate cart hire gives guests a choice of three delicious hot chocolate flavours from one beautifully presented cart. Depending on your event, you could select traditional milk, rich dark and creamy white hot chocolate, or try something different with ruby, gold and other seasonal flavours.

Every drink is served with lashings of fresh cream and a tempting choice of sprinkles, sauces and toppings. It is a complete hot chocolate experience designed to get guests talking for all the right reasons.

Three Hot Chocolate Flavours From One Cart

Why provide only one variety when your guests can choose from three?

Our hot chocolate carts can serve three different flavours during the same event. Popular combinations include:

• Traditional milk hot chocolate
• Rich dark hot chocolate
• Creamy white hot chocolate
• Caramel-flavoured gold hot chocolate
• Fruity ruby hot chocolate
• Additional seasonal and speciality flavours

You can choose the three flavours that best suit your guests and event. This makes our service ideal for workplaces, corporate celebrations and larger events where people naturally have different tastes.

Each drink can be finished with fresh cream, sauces, sprinkles and toppings, allowing guests to create their own indulgent winter treat.

Hot Chocolate Cart Hire for Corporate Christmas Events

Our hot chocolate carts are particularly popular for corporate Christmas events, workplace celebrations and employee appreciation days.

Rather than asking employees to travel to a Christmas market, we can bring the experience directly to your office, reception, courtyard or workplace.

Our carts work brilliantly for:

• Corporate Christmas parties
• Employee reward and recognition events
• Workplace wellbeing days
• Office Christmas markets
• Shopping centres and retail events
• Show-home openings and seasonal sales weekends
• Resident and community events
• University and college events
• Exhibitions and conferences
• Hotel and venue celebrations
• Winter weddings and private parties

We provide the cart, drinks, toppings, equipment and serving staff. We also complete the setup before service and clear everything away afterwards, giving your team an easy and memorable festive activation without unnecessary work.

Hot Chocolate Cart Hire in London

We regularly support corporate events and workplace activations throughout London.

Our hot chocolate carts are modular, meaning they can be carefully dismantled into manageable sections for transport through buildings. Lifts, corridors and more challenging office access arrangements are therefore rarely a problem.

This is especially valuable when delivering events in central London, where loading, parking and building access need to be planned properly.

As long as we can access a suitable electrical supply, we can operate indoors or outdoors. Our team will discuss access, setup times, power requirements and building restrictions with you before the event.

We can also support clients holding events across several London offices or locations. With multiple carts available, we can help create a consistent festive experience across an entire workplace portfolio.

Hot Chocolate Cart Hire in Birmingham and the West Midlands

Based in Halesowen, we are ideally placed to provide hot chocolate cart hire throughout Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.

We can support office buildings, residential developments, shopping destinations, universities, councils, venues and private clients across the region.

Our local position also makes the hot chocolate cart a strong option for smaller workplace events, Christmas open days, show-home weekends and resident engagement activities.

Hot Chocolate Cart Hire in Manchester

We also regularly travel to Manchester and surrounding areas for corporate events, exhibitions and workplace activations.

Whether you are arranging a small office treat or a large event for hundreds of guests, we can tailor the service around your venue, timings and expected attendance.

For clients with offices in London, Birmingham and Manchester, we can provide one reliable supplier across several locations.

Indoor and Outdoor Hot Chocolate Cart Hire

Our carts can operate indoors or outdoors, subject to access to a suitable electrical power supply.

They work beautifully in:

• Office receptions
• Atriums and communal areas
• Covered courtyards
• Christmas markets
• Outdoor terraces
• Marquees
• Shopping centres
• Event venues
• Residential developments
• Show homes and sales suites

For outdoor events, we will discuss the location and weather arrangements in advance. For indoor events, we can work with building-management and facilities teams to confirm access, electrical requirements and setup arrangements.

Fully Staffed and Served for You

Every hot chocolate cart can be supplied with an experienced member of our events team to prepare and serve the drinks.

Our staff will arrive before the agreed service time to set up the cart, organise the toppings and prepare the hot chocolate. During service, they will help guests select their flavour and toppings whilst keeping the cart clean, attractive and well stocked.

Once service has finished, we will clear away our equipment and leave the area tidy.

It is designed to be an easy, professionally managed experience from the initial booking through to the event itself.

Brand the Cart and Cups

Our hot chocolate carts can also be branded for your company, campaign or event.

Branding options can include:

• A branded front panel
• Partial cart branding
• Fully themed cart designs
• Branded or personalised cups
• Branded stickers
• Event-specific colours and decorations

This transforms the cart from a catering service into a complete branded activation.

It works particularly well for product launches, employee engagement events, exhibitions, Christmas campaigns and events where guests are encouraged to take and share photographs.

Stickering cups can offer an effective and affordable branding option, whilst fully printed cups may be available for larger events and campaigns where longer production lead times are possible.

Hot Chocolate for 50 to Thousands of Guests

Our hot chocolate cart hire is suitable for events ranging from approximately 50 guests to major activations serving thousands of people.

For smaller events, one cart can provide a warm and personal focal point. For larger events, we can provide additional equipment, staff and multiple carts to maintain an efficient service.

When preparing your quotation, we will consider:

• The number of guests
• Your preferred three flavours
• The event location
• Service duration
• Indoor or outdoor operation
• Access and setup requirements
• Branding
• Additional carts or serving points
• Any complementary festive services

Providing accurate guest numbers and timings helps us recommend the most suitable setup for your event.

Complete Your Event With Mulled Wine, S’mores and Mince Pies

Hot chocolate can be booked as a standalone experience or combined with our other festive services.

Popular additions include:

• Mulled wine carts and bars
• S’mores experiences
• Luxury mince pies
• Gingerbread treats
• Popcorn and candy floss
• Festive singers and entertainment
• Christmas decorations
• Complete workplace Christmas markets

A hot chocolate and mulled wine cart can be a particularly effective combination, giving guests both alcoholic and non-alcoholic choices from one attractive festive setup.

Complimentary Luxury Mince Pies for September Bookings

Book your hot chocolate cart during September and we will include complimentary luxury mince pies for your guests.

This offer applies to qualifying bookings confirmed during September for events taking place throughout the winter period.

It is our way of adding something extra for clients who plan ahead—and hot chocolate with a luxury mince pie is a combination that is difficult to beat.

Availability and terms apply, so please mention the September mince-pie offer when making your enquiry.

How Much Does Hot Chocolate Cart Hire Cost?

The cost of hiring a hot chocolate cart depends on the number of guests, location, service duration, flavour choices, access arrangements and any branding or additional services required.

Rather than offering a single package that may not suit your event, we prepare a clear quotation based on what you genuinely need.

To receive an accurate price, please provide:

• Your event date
• Venue or postcode
• Expected number of guests
• Preferred service times
• Indoor or outdoor location
• Your preferred hot chocolate flavours
• Any branding requirements
• Any additional festive services you are considering

We will then recommend an appropriate package and explain exactly what is included.
