Our Story
Mentmore Coffee was founded by Francesca and launched on the namesake Mentmore Terrace in East London in 2023. With over 12 years hospitality experience and an ever growing desire for specialty coffee at large scale events, the vision turned into a reality.
After careful consideration and over 200 google searches, we decided that a Peugeot J7 was the truck of choice. It was then time to renovate the van, create a whole brand and decide on a menu offering. The amazing team at Cre-ate design studio created a vision with the brand and everything fell into place from there.
We are dedicated to doing business for good, which is why we have partnered with some awesome social enterprises that feature on our seasonal menus.
Fast forward to the present day and in the past 12 months we have served coffee and cheese toasties at ZSL London Zoo, Battersea Park in Concerts and over 20 business parks across London with Segro.
