The Full Story

Who are we?

We are The Social Bean and are made up of a team of 4 coffeeholics with a huge interest in speciality coffee.

​

International sport has given us all the opportunity to travel the world and play hockey professionally. When we're all not playing you'll find us either half a cup down of a flat white or on the way to trying to find one. 

​

One positive to come from the Covid lockdown was allowing us time to reflect and plan a way in which we can manage playing sports, whilst also following our passion for coffee. That's when we all plucked up the courage to buy a converted horse trailer. 

​

A paint job, many hours of sanding, and some new equipment later, we can finally say we have a coffee trailer that can produce the highest grade speciality coffee and service. 

​

Following this we purchased our Land Rover Defender to give us more flexibility and open up more event opportunities.

​

keeping close relationships in business is close to our hearts and is central to how we want to run our coffee business. We have teamed with a fellow GB Hockey player who is a multiple medal-winning Olympian and has her own baking company. Giselle uses the highest quality ingredients and can cater to all requests.

​

With experience in various different events we're confident that we can provide a bespoke service to all occasions with a little bit of Social Bean magic!
