Commercial hot chocolate dispensers on a serving table, ready to pour for guests at an event

Hot Chocolate Machine

Hire from £895.

Whipped cream and marshmallows as standard

The hot chocolate machine is a commercial dispenser with a dedicated uniformed server, ready to pour for your event. Each cup comes with whipped cream and marshmallows as standard, and the machine handles large volumes - whether you've got 50 guests or 500, everyone gets a proper cup without queuing for ages.

It's the cart that earns its keep in the cold. At a Christmas market, a winter wonderland or a corporate party in December, hot chocolate is the thing people are actually after - more than the rides, more than the stalls. Your server takes care of everything from setup to serving, so you don't need to worry about manning it yourself.

It pairs naturally with the mulled wine for the full winter drinks line, and with the candy floss and honey roasted nuts for the rest of the food row.
