Thank you so much for catering for Four12 Conference at the Villa Marina. Fabulous service with a smile. The relaxed social vibe in the gardens with Flo was wonderful, made all the better with great coffee & fabulous cakes. - Kirree Gooberman, Four12 Conference

PERFECT ADDITION

"Flo the Coffee Van was the perfect addition to our merry band of Artists and Artisans at Grenaby Studios (Isle of Man Art Festival 2017). Flo was surrounded by fluttering bunting, and Annabel made streams of festival-goers very happy with tea, coffee and generous slices of her delicious homemade cakes that made us go weak at the knees! With a beaming smile, Annabel couldn't do enough to help. We had an amazing weekend spending time with her and look forward to working with her again. - IOM Arts Festival

Went down a Storm

We hired Flo for our staff family fun day at Silly Moos - their pulled pork baps, falafel burgers and cakes went down an absolute storm. As always, Annabel and Stuart provided a timely, professional, friendly service, and we have had nothing but glowing feedback from our staff. Everything was so fresh and it's always great to see caterers supporting local. Can't wait to use them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend for any occasion. - Lucy Verdon, Eastera Company Family Day

Flo

The Coffee Van

Named after Annabels Gran, Flo started life in Paris in 1968 as a horsebox. Christmas 2014 she was found in a barn in France & brought over to West Yorkshire, where Annabel & Stuart had her lovingly restored and converted into the Flo you see at events today. She rarely makes it above 30mph so you may see her out and about on the Islands roads, on her way to keep the next festival supplied with music, hot coffee & festival comfort food.

Annabel & Stuart

Mr & Mrs Flo

Mrs Flo, aka Annabel, grew up in N.I. where her Granny taught her to bake. Annabel worked the festival circuit in the 90's with the Tiny Tea Tent & an Indian Silver Stall before deciding to grow up & get a 'proper' career as a Food Technology Teacher. Fast Forward 20 years & back to her love & dream - working the IOM Festival / Events circuit. Mr Flo, aka Stuart, met Annabel while he was a budding, soon to be Famous DJ, in the 90s. There ended that dream & career for him but spent the next 15 years becoming a Father & trying to squeeze in DJing gigs & providing PA / Sound Systems inbetween sleepless nights & nappy changes. He's a complete hippy at heart & a wannabe Pirate.
