Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer sweet popcorn, salt, or both?

Both as standard. Most events run a 50/50 split — sweet (caramelised, golden) and salted (cinema-style, white). Toffee, butter, and savoury cheese flavours available as premium add-ons.

How many bags of popcorn does the machine produce per hour?

Around 80–100 paper bags per hour at full pace. The kettle pops a fresh batch every 4–5 minutes, so guests are queuing for visibly-fresh popcorn rather than scoops from a stale tub.

Are the popcorn bags branded?

Standard bags are red-and-white striped (cinema-classic). Custom-branded bags are available for weddings (couple's names) or corporate events (company logo) — order 4 weeks ahead of the event for printed bags. Send artwork at booking.

Is this cinema-style or fairground-style popcorn?

A proper cinema-style red & gold kettle popper, not the small home variants. The machine is the centrepiece — guests gather around it, watch fresh batches pop, and help themselves. Adds smell, sound and visual movement to the room.

What does popcorn smell like in the venue?

Strongly like cinema. Some venues love it (creates a fairground/cinema atmosphere); some don't (interferes with formal sit-down meals). Best positioned away from the main dining area — typically near the bar, dance floor, or in a foyer.

Is the popcorn machine suitable for kids?

Yes — kids love watching the popping kettle. The machine itself runs hot, so we operate it throughout for safety; guests bag their own popcorn from the warmer tray. Standard recipe is allergen-friendly (nut-free, gluten-free, vegan).
