Frequently Asked Questions regarding Fountain Hire
Q: How does the "Self-Managed" hire work? A: We aim to make your event stress-free. We arrive approximately 1 hour before your service time to set up the machine and melt the chocolate (or heat the gravy). Once it is flowing perfectly, we leave you to enjoy the fountain in privacy for your 2-hour service window—no strangers watching you eat! We return immediately after the 2 hours to switch off and dismantle the machine.
Q: How long does the hire last? A: Our standard package includes 2 hours of flowing service time (e.g., 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM). This is the optimal time for a dessert station or evening buffet to ensure the quality of the chocolate or gravy remains perfect. If you require a longer duration, please contact us for a bespoke quote.
Q: Do I need to clean the fountain afterwards? A: Absolutely not! Cleaning a fountain is a messy, specialist job. We collect the machine immediately after your 2-hour service finishes. We take it away "dirty" and handle all the professional deep cleaning at our commercial kitchen in Redruth.
Q: Can we hire both a Chocolate AND a Gravy fountain? A: Yes! This is our popular "Sweet & Savoury" package. We set them up on separate tables (to avoid any flavour mix-ups!), creating two distinct food stations. It is the ultimate "Late Night Snack" combo for weddings.
Q: What dipping items do you recommend for the Gravy Fountain? A: The options are delicious comfort foods! We recommend a mix of Roast Potatoes, Mini Yorkshire Puddings, Pigs in Blankets, Stuffing Balls, and Southern Fried Chicken Strips. It’s like a Sunday Roast on a stick!
Q: Do you offer Vegan or Dairy-Free options? A: Yes. We can supply high-quality Vegan Belgian Chocolate or dark chocolate which is naturally dairy-free. For the Gravy Fountain, we can supply a rich Onion Gravy that is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Please let us know your dietary requirements when booking.
Q: Do you provide the chocolate and gravy? A: Yes, all our packages include the liquid gold! You can choose from Belgian Milk, White, or Dark Chocolate, or upgrade to premium sauces like Lotus Biscoff, Pistachio, or Hazelnut Praline. For the savoury option, we provide rich beef or vegetarian onion gravy.
Q: What do you need from the venue? A: We require a sturdy, level table (a round 6ft table or a trestle table works best) and access to a standard 13-amp power socket nearby. We recommend placing the table close to a wall socket as we cannot run the machines off very long extension leads.
