About Black Bear

We are a family-run business offering mobile artisan locally roasted coffee & handmade eats from a self-converted vintage 1960's Rice-Richardson Horsebox.

The 'Black Bear' represents a creature that is the epitome of adaptability and versatility. We can diversify to offer a range of produce within any environment to suit the event. This may mean offering hot drinks exclusively, unique cocktails (including an award-winning sparking British Sparkling wine) , sustainable meat bakes such as our hugely popular Venison sausage rolls 'VeniRolls' or other game takeaway dishes. We create an experience that suits the event, but artisan coffee will always be our forte, with locally, sustainably harvested produce featuring at the heart of what we present. We also like to stand out from the crowd by introducing you to the newest flavors on the market that everyone is talking about - something a little bit different, innovative and exciting!

Our service is one that is ever-personal and professional, with produce that aims to exceed all expectations.

Our artisan drinks menu includes:
Espresso
Mocha
Latte
Cappuccino
Americano
Flat white
Caffeine free blend
Tea
'Drink Me Chai' Chai Latte
'Zuma' Hot chocolate
Macha Latte
Ice Coffee

Cakes, Bakes & Pastries. Some of our very best have included:
* Venison Sausage rolls (veggie option also available)
* Apple Strudel
* Cinnamon cake
* Spinach & Ricotta slice
* Passionfruit & Pistachio cake
* Royal roulade cake
* Chocolate coconut brownies

**PLEASE NOTE** We Are standard-sized Horsebox unit that will require access and a position on the site to offer services for a CAFE or BAR. We don't offer another form of bar set-up or service for areas e.g urban gardens (parties, etc) where there is no access for a large vehicle.

The most amazing coffee and amazing suppliers

Laura and Martin supplied all the coffees and teas at our wedding at the end of May, from their amazing converted horsebox! The communication from start to finish was amazing....even discussing some of the details of the day when they weren't even in the country. As for the day....wow! The horsebox was decorated on theme with the forest wedding we were having and the teas and coffees were awesome! Thankyou again so much again :) Steve and Greg

Absolutely brilliant!

What a fantastic team to work with, Laura and Martin were just great and had a queue of determined coffee drinkers all day long, despite the rain at the event. Horsebox looked great and the coffee and hot chocolate were delicious! Would definitely recommend and absolutely book again.

Fantastic Service!

Brilliant vendor, great with communication, booked with ease and adapted when we phoned in a panic as we’d been let down by another vendor. Laura was quick to jump to a solution and adapt their offerings. So appreciated, can’t wait to book again!
