Matcha Hire for Christmas & Winter Events
Matcha
For end-of-year office gatherings and seasonal retail events, offer warming matcha lattes alongside iced favourites.
We can discuss seasonal flavour options and personalise the printed menu to your Christmas campaign. Your final festive recipes and any additional branding are agreed as part of the booking.
The New Z generation drink!
There’s a clear shift happening in event catering. Brands are moving away from purely functional setups and towards experiences that feel more considered and engaging.
Matcha sits perfectly within that shift. It appeals to a modern, health-conscious audience, looks visually striking, and offers something unexpected — which is exactly what drives engagement at events.
This trend is explored further in this matcha bar hire London guide, published by Mixology Insider, highlighting how experiential drinks are shaping the future of brand activations.

Benefits
of Matcha
“Fantastic experience — the matcha bar was a real highlight. Professional, engaging and beautifully presented.”
— Luke P.
Branded Matcha Carts, Cups & Menus
Make the serving point part of your event presentation with cart panels, custom cups and signage styled around your artwork.
Branding can include your logo, launch colours, personalised drink names or a QR code linking to your chosen campaign page. We confirm the selected items and provide the relevant artwork requirements before production.
Allow 10–15 working days from approved artwork for custom printed cups. Stickers generally require 5–7 working days, with other items quoted to the production brief.

Matcha Catering for London Offices, Stores & Exhibitions
Office Events & Staff Hospitality
Bring a matcha bar into your workplace for team gatherings, client visits or an afternoon treat. We plan the menu and service window around the number of guests and when they are likely to arrive.
Retail Launches & PR Events
A branded cart can serve invited guests or shoppers during store openings, press days and product launches. We agree the working area with your team so service fits the store layout.
Exhibitions & Conferences
For exhibition stands and conference breaks, we consider peak demand as well as the total drink allowance.
We recommend suitable staffing and a focused menu, with additional stations where needed.
Space, Power & Venue Access
Our compact cart is approximately 1.2 m × 0.6 m. This is the cart footprint; the full service area also needs space for staff, equipment and guests.
We bring fresh water and collect waste water onboard, so a plumbed water connection is not normally required.
Mains power is needed, with two suitable 13A sockets recommended for setups using steam equipment to prepare hot milk. We confirm the electrical requirements of your selected setup before booking.
Our normal arrival is 60–90 minutes before service, with approximately 45–60 minutes for pack-down.
Please include loading access, stairs, lifts and any restricted delivery times in your brief. Outdoor service requires an agreed sheltered location.
Matcha Bar Hire Across London
We serve events across London, including Soho, Shoreditch, Canary Wharf, the City, Mayfair, Kensington and Westminster.
Share your venue address, event timings and guest numbers so we can recommend a suitable setup. Travel and any venue-specific logistics are clearly identified in your quotation.
Add Coffee Alongside Your Matcha Menu
If guests would like both, we can arrange espresso-based coffee alongside matcha through our wider team at Barista Hire London.
We confirm whether a combined station or separate serving points will best suit your space and demand.
