How it works

Three steps from maybe to booked.

  1. 01

    Call or text your date

    Tell us the day, the town and roughly how many people you're feeding. You'll get a straight answer on whether the cart is free.

  2. 02

    We roll up and start popping

    We bring the kettle, the cart and the bags — you keep your hands free for the rest of the event.

  3. 03

    Guests smell it and line up

    Kettle corn is best hot, so we pop through the whole booking and keep the bags coming out warm.

Ready when you are.
