Working with the team at The Big Coffee has been a fantastic experience. From the very first engagement, to the planning, the build of our horse box, the delivery and after-service the company stands out for their dedication to quality and excellent customer service. We receive frequent very positive comments about the quality, craft and skill that has gone into building the horse box. If we should ever expand and require a further conversion, I would choose the company without any hesitation and can full heartedly endorse and recommend them. Thank you from the team at The Old Mill in Lower Slaughter!

Absolutely thrilled with the work The Big Coffee did on our coffee trailer! From start to finish, their team was incredibly helpful, guiding us through every detail with expertise and care. They went above and beyond to make sure our vision became a reality, taking our ideas and elevating them in ways we hadn’t imagined. Claire kept us updated on the project every step of the way, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. And on handover day, Joe was fantastic—walking us through everything and ensuring we felt confident and ready. The quality of their craftsmanship is outstanding, and it’s clear they put thought and heart into every part of the build. We now have a beautiful, functional trailer that’s already a huge hit with our customers, and we owe it all to The Big Coffee team. Thank you for making our dream come to life!

After lots of research we chose The Big Coffee to build our pod. We were given a 6 month lead time which was accurate.We were introduced to a company with whom we collaborated on our logo signage and although this was remotely we found it worked well and we’re delighted with the results.Aftercare has been fantastic. We had a few snags but they were helpful and went above and beyond to resolve them.Communication has been excellent. We sometimes seek advice and it’s given willingly. Claire is our point of contact and she’s fabulous to deal with.Our only issue has been the paintwork becoming badly chipped whilst towing (despite using mudguards). A caravan protector doesn’t fit the pod and the cost of respray seems excessive through the original sprayer used when the pod was built.Our customers regularly comment very positively on the appearance of the pod and overall we’re delighted with it.

The Big Coffee has been great from my first foot through the door, right up-to collecting my Pod. Claire was particularly helpful with any information that I needed, no question was too silly or too small. I had my training day with Joe, which was made fun even though there was a lot of information to take in. He obviously did a good job because 3 days later was our first event which was a huge success. Highly recommend. Thanks guys! 😃

Bought a Piaggio Ape 50 from The Big Coffee this year for my business Hips Social. Really impressed with the service from start to finish. The team were really informative in the sales process and communication throughout the build was great. The quality of the build and final product is also spot on. Thanks guys!

Owning a pod trailer for your mobile business offers several advantages:

Lightweight and easy to tow: Pod trailers are designed to be lightweight, making them easy to tow with a standard vehicle, which simplifies transportation and reduces fuel costs.
Simple management: Their manageable size and streamlined design mean that pod trailers can often be handled by one person, making setup and operation more straightforward.
Compact efficiency: Despite their smaller size, pod trailers are designed to maximise space efficiently, offering practical solutions for various mobile business needs.

Cost-effective: Generally, more affordable than larger trailers or custom-built units, our pod trailers provide a budget-friendly option for starting or expanding your mobile business.
Versatility: Their compact design makes pod trailers suitable for a variety of business types, from food vendors to pop-up shops, allowing for flexible use in different locations.
Convenient storage: The smaller footprint makes pod trailers easier to store when not in use, requiring less space compared to larger mobile units.
