Trend Alert - Mobile Beverage Bars and Parlours at your Events!

12/10/2019

If there is one thing at a celebration that always catches my eye, it is a drinks bar or parlour. I don't know why, but it just feels like a really big treat to walk over, order a professionally prepared beverage/drink, and then not to have to pay for it!

So cheap of me, I know! Anyone else feel the same?

Not only does it look stylish and sleek, but it clearly conveys the host’s effort to spoil their guests , and treat them to something special.

Mobile bars and parlours are extremely popular, both for corporate events, and for private celebrations. Sold? Want to book? Then look no further than Moments , catering for all events in the Johannesburg and Pretoria areas. Moments is an owner run business, offering personalised & dedicated service. Hilton, the business owner, and his team offer a variety of slick bars and parlours available for hire. These are perfect for any function or event of any scale, from weddings to corporate events including; team builds, tradeshows, product launches, activations and PR events. Whilst the bars are a sleek and professional format, their old school carts( termed “’parlours’) are a bit more novel and fun- perfect for the more casual celebration including birthday parties.

All their bars and old school carts can be custom branded to match the theme of your event.

Mobile Cart Supplier - Moments

Mobile bubble tea cart for hire in Gauteng.

Maybe it is the kitchen boss in me, or the foodie that 'likes it the way I like it' or the fact that I just generally love being in the kitchen, but good grief, I find it almost impossible to watch someone making something for me that I am really looking forward to.
Example? Ice-cream Sundays. Like, who in their right mind let's someone build their Sundae for them? Modern day torture I say as I find myself silently willing the person to add the precise amounts of an item that suits my preference.

I think most people love getting involved and having a say in their dessert choice, because we all love having our way in what we are having, right? And we all love dessert, especially at special functions and events, because, it would be rude, really, not to ... and any excuse to justify dessert will do.

Enter the Mobile Cart Suppliers of EVERYTHING, Moments, based in Johannesburg. Win win for everyone at any type of special occasion or event, from corporate functions right through to weddings, because dessert and fun is covered in one easy step. They will make everything exactly to your liking, people can get stuck in and make their own, it is hassle free and professional - call, book, pay, done - and it is FUN for everyone.

Mmm Moments is a old-fashioned mobile dessert and beverage parlour service. Their core service consists of a mobile cart filled with treats selected by the event organiser. Uniquely, guests can create their own treats, based on their individual preference. They have a great selection to choose from:
1. Build-your-own ice-cream parlour (soft serve or gelato)
2. Build-your-own frozen yoghurt parlour
3. Build-your-own milkshake parlour
4. Build-your-own waffle parlour
5. Build-your-own smoothie parlour
6. Build-your-own bubble tea parlour
11. Churro parlour
12. Crepe parlour
13. Mini Doughnut parlour

How to go about booking them for your function or event?

Email or call Hilton to confirm availability and cost. You will then get to confirm the ice-cream, toppings and sauces you want in the parlour/ cart on the day. On the day of the event the customised dessert or beverage parlour comes to your event, ready to go andf fully stocked with items of your choice.

Which events can you book the mobile cart?

Any event! Weddings / Baby showers / Bridal showers / Product launches / Training days / Corporate activation's / Birthday parties / Engagement parties / Wedding anniversaries. if they can park their cart, they will be there!

Holi Cow

Name: Holi Cow
Where: 38 Kingfisher Drive, Fourways, 2191 Johannesburg, Gauteng
Website: Holi Cow
Love @ first coffee: ♥♥♥♥♥
Function Venue: Yes
Kid Friendly: Yup, lovely big outside playing area for the kiddies.
Owner: Yudhika Sujanani
Facebook: facebook.com/holicow

I was actually meant to visit another little coffee shop on this specific day, but as it was a public holiday, it was closed. Luckily I noticed the sign for Holi Cow on my way to the first place, so I immediately knew where I will be having my morning cappuccino.

The cappuccino was so perfect, I had two. My husband had an English breakfast which he says was really nice. However, I will be going back to taste the curry, for this is the owner's specialty and what she is known for.

What I loved about this place was the detail in everything! I got lost in all the patterns and colors and uniqueness of it all and if that is anything to go by, I cannot wait to taste the food.. It is also a venue that can be booked for special occasions, so keep in mind.

The Victorian Secret

Name: The Victorian Secret
Where: Benoni
Website: www.thevictoriansecret.co.za
Love @ first coffee: ♥♥♥♥/ ♥♥♥♥♥
Kid Friendly: There is space for kids to run about a bit, but the entrance walks directly onto the street
I recommend: Everything from the bakery!

The highlight of this venue for me is the Bakery. The display counter is so inviting I just could not decide what to choose. The peanut butter Macaroon was crispy, fresh and chewy on the inside, exactly the way they are suppose to be. But those tiny, pretty Lemon Meringues - heaven. Lemon flavored shortbread crust filled with tart lemon curd and lovely meringue. Worth a drive to Benoni if you are looking for yummy goodies for your next event.

Ok - I know this section is called 'I DRINK COFFEE', but sometimes I also drink other stuff, and I found a little place selling all kinds of wonderful 'other stuff' that I have to tell you about.
The Club, Hazelwood, has a very fresh and exciting addition to their range of exclusive outlets - happy.me.
I do not even want to try and explain to you how 'cool' this store is - just go! I can gaurentee you will find something you love on their menu.
They call themselves gourmet coffee, tea, yoghurt & smoothie Mixologists.

Definition of mixologist in English: mixologist. noun. A person who is skilled at mixing cocktails and other drinks.

And as the definition states, they are very skilled at mixing all kinds of 'other drinks'!
Milk tea, fruit tea, tea with flavor pearls, coffee mixes, chocolate based drinks, freshly squeezed super juices, yogurt drinks and frozen yogurt.
While you are there, have a go at the 'make-your-own-salad' fridge, I am saying no more.
Here are some pictures so that you can easily find your way.
Going? Let me know what you think?
O yes, and the cherry on top for me was that they somehow seal your take-away drink with a plastic film - no more messy juggling in the car.

AfroBoer

Name: AfroBoer
Where: Corner of Meerlust and Lynwood Road, Pretoria East
Website: Afroboer
Love @ first coffee: ♥♥♥♥♥
Kid Friendly: Yup, lovely big outside playing area for the kiddies.
Owner: Michelle Cronje - Cibulka
Facebook: facebook.com/afroboer

This week I have the best coffee shop treasure to share with all of you. Ok, to be honest, I have known about them for a while, ever since the signs went up saying 'Opening 1 August 2013' and since 1 August I have spent my fair amount of money and time at this 'breath of fresh air' Coffee Shop - it does not help that it is literally around the corner from our house.
Why do I love this place so much? There are so many reasons, but for starters, their website, their loo's and these four main points:

1. The House Rules

- We make and bake daily, so relax, its coming
- Our lamb and venison is organic and free range, who knows about the beef...
- All the eggs used are free-range
- Deviations to the menu will most likely be met with some aggressive behaviour, and could result in a wait t hat might go on forever... and ever...
- Please excuse if we sell out - we do aim for that!
- Not all the ingredients we use are listed on the menu
- We do have selected items on the menu that do not contain some of the following ingredients: meat, fish, garlic, wheat, gluten, starch, carbs, nuts, lactose, and calories - enquire from your waiter -
- Yes, we are unlicensed - we are in the process of applying for a liquor license. No, we do not serve alcohol yet
- If your cell phone interferes with the natural garden ambience, and the gossip at the table next to you, it might get thrown over the wall...
(and no, indigenous quacking duck ringtones don-t count for much approval!)

2. The Food
I am someone who really tries to eat organic, fresh food without harmful this or that in. Great for my health, not so great when looking for places to eat, because they are really hard to find, especially in Pretoria. It is nice to sit down and have a plate of food that you know is really good for you. I won't bore you with all the wonderful, creative dishes that Michelle has come up with, go and try it for yourself. But I will say that Eggs Benedict are divine, the real deal, and that to me is a sign of a restaurant run by a real Foodie!
See Menu here.

3. The Drinks
They are pretty, some of them different and all of them yummy. Afroboer is a Saturday morning stop for many athletes, especially bikers, and if you are an exercise junkie yourself, you will love their 'after-workout' shakes.
See Drinks Menu here

Recovery shake for athletes R30
-based on Joe Friel's Paleo formulas-

chocolate, milk, yoghurt

4. The Bakery
The very first thing that made me fall in love with AfroBoer, is their cakes. Not just the taste - the carrot cakes is divine btw, but the prices and the serving size is perfect for an afternoon craving/treat. It is so nice to be able to order a small piece of delicious cake, from R8 upwards, eat it up, and not feel guilty. I hate having a huge piece of cake put in front of me, and all you can think is, only eat half, only eat half ... only .. eat .. half ....

The bakery makes all kinds of delicious breads, biscuits, quiches and ginger bread houses - I bought a ginger bread house for Christmas and it was sooo pretty. All of these can be ordered with 2 days notice.
