  • What areas do you cover?

    We are headquartered in the South West of the United Kingdom. Our on‑the‑ground services are centred on the South West and South East of England—including Bath, Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Wiltshire, South Wales and London, but we are not confined to those towns and can serve locations beyond them.

    Meanwhile, our trade‑portal website is open to customers across the entire UK, giving anyone nationwide full access to our information, products and ordering options regardless of where they are located.

  • If you prefer not to buy equipment outright, we can arrange a leasing package. The lease is coordinated through an independent FCA‑regulated broker who handles the credit checks and financing.

    Installation: The Coffee Lobby installs the machine at your premises as part of the lease package.

    Ongoing responsibilities: Maintenance, PSSR inspections, repairs and any other after‑sales services are the responsibility of the lessee.

    To assist with the continued smooth operation of your equipment The Coffee Lobby can provide these services for an additional fee. Prices are available upon request.

  • We are currently piloting a rental‑agreement scheme in the Wiltshire area only. The equipment remains the property of The Coffee Lobby for the duration of the rental.
