    haha good idea. Though I'd just plaster Mr.Bean's image on the van. Say nothing and see what happens. Then if the rights owners send you a letter go to the tabloids and tell them you are a little coffee stall owner who is being sued by a mute comedian. You couldn't make that stuff up and neither could you buy the publicity :D

    Brilliant. I love it.. Do that. Thats defo more my style! :D

    Perfect your "latte art". Good way to differentiate yourself for other coffee vendors and I think it demonstrates that you are really caring about the product you are handing over to your customers.

    Seen it done with a few mobile coffee vendors in Ireland and I always think it is a nice touch.

    Good luck with your venture.

    I use Mr Cotton each morning. Here are a couple of things that they do which may be of use to you:

    1. Loyalty cards - free coffee for every ten purchased. The cards are basic but have all the contact details on it, which is a cheap promotion method.

    2. There's a building site near the business park I work in. (I know, not many of them around these days!). Mr Cotton pops up there after the morning rush has died down in the business park, so he hits them for their morning tea-break. Back down to the business park then for the early lunch crowd. Just a suggestion if you find that there are quiet times in your daily route.

    Good idea but I'd imagine it's hard to keep up the pace with it. Would be interested to hear how you're going now.

    Hi all

    I have just bought a mobile coffee unit, an Italian Piaggio Ape ! I've done a deal with 'Lavazza' coffee as my suppliers etc. I have previously run bars/restaurants successfully and know a thing or two about coffees.

    Has anyone here any advice, ideas, or thoughts for me? I'd be very grateful to hear them...

    You can see my mobile Coffee unit on Facebook,
    http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Dublin/Mr-Beans-mobile-coffee/149772771706461?ref=ts&__a=7&ajaxpipe=1

    I have named the business " Mr. Bean " and registered the name !!

    I'm based around Wicklow but am hoping to attend farmers markets, and find a train station with commuters but no cafe etc etc...


    I know this is a year later but hopefully you still check on boards now and again! :) How much did you pay for a vendors licience and do you need permission to sell before you park and commencing the coffee making??

    That account is no longer active so you are unlikely to get a reply here - the facebook page also seems to be gone.

    Hey Arsenal,
    It just a personal opinion but Killarney seems overrun with Coffee Shops atm, 3 new ones in the 4 /5 weeks and Bean in Dingle due to open soon.
    There is also a mobile unit that uses Corcorans Car Park at the weekends
    Best of luck if you proceed
