**** Nomad is for sale ! ******
Edited ***

Nomad is for sale through no fault of her own, it's been a blast but my circumstances have changed and I can only manage one of our catering units.
So this beautiful converted vintage horsebox is now for sale. She was professionally converted late 2022 and is a turn key business for anyone wanting to run a coffee business from a horsebox.
She's kitted out with a duel fuel espresso machine from the lovely people at .uk
*** there is a third copper pipe currently capped off that comes up just under the back counter for anyone wanting to ad another lpg appliance such as a griddle ****
Too much to list on here so please DM me any queries and I can let you know everything that's included. She's just had a new gas safety certificate and I hold a 5* hygiene rating.
She's an Ifor Williams
East Sussex

What a few weeks we've just had with Nomad and Oscar's Kitchen, three events back to back with the last two festivals being six days each with set up/ travelling/ breakdown. ..... all three were fantastic and all the organisers were a joy to work with, huge thanks to Roger Harrington of Bison Bushcraft for inviting us and for all your help ...and your fantastic crew !
Too busy making coffee for the good people at and to take many photos but this was a very happy returning customer and before the public descended.
Happy days !

Great local event

Some of you will know that for about 10 years (except lockdown) I've signed up for a charity trek , from my very first one walking from the lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea to Petra to the heady heights of Everest Base Camp.
I'm returning to my favourite place on Earth, the mighty Himalaya in October raising funds for the extraordinary charity Animals Asia with a little walk up a mountain in the Annapurna in Nepal.
It is the charities 25th anniversary this year and there is a huge push to finish their second sanctuary in Vietnam, so the 300 bears still trapped on bile farms can live out their days being cared for by this,wonderful charity.
At all our August events we will have a "moon bear special" ... in our sister catering concession, our lovely converted vintage horsebox called Nomad .... we're thinking maybe a Biscoff Latte with all the monies going to Animals Asia via my JustGiving fundraising page
🐻 ❤️ 🐻 ❤️
If you're not going to see us but would like to pop the price of a coffee on my page ...that would be amazing.
We've raised over £22,000 and counting for charities from Breast Cancer Now to Help For Heroes and I couldn't do any of it without you , I'm eternally grateful and humbled by your ongoing support 🙏

For any of you lovely folks that are on Instagram this is the qr code for Nomad, our lovely converted vintage horsebox. Scan this and it should take you to our page if you fancy following.

If anyone is coming along to the Medfest this weekend, we have teamed up with the Abbey guides to provide a “special” battle inspired tour of the Abbey featuring the Abbeys involvement in the day and the burials within. The Abbey has given special permission to include the Sacristy Door in the tour allegedly covered in armour taken from the field, complete with arrow holes.
