Build-your-own bowls, your way

A frozen yoghurt bar gives guests something to choose, create and enjoy. Start with the base, add a selection of toppings and finish with the flavours they like.

We can shape the menu around a fruit-led bowl, a more indulgent dessert or a balance of both. Discuss fresh fruit, crunchy toppings and sauces with us, then agree the final selection, bowl size and portions for your event.

Looking for self-serve froyo hire? We can plan a self-serve format, or a setup where the team helps guests build their bowls. The right arrangement depends on the venue, audience and service window.

A frozen yoghurt bar made for your brand

Make the bar part of the event, from the counter design to the way the menu is presented. Bespoke branded froyo bars can support product launches, retail pop-ups, company events and brand activations.

Talk to us about branded bowls, signage and a toppings selection that fits your creative direction. We will agree the elements, artwork and production schedule in your proposal, rather than treating every branding option as a standard inclusion.

In practice: Runna x lululemon

A Rolling Minds activation for Runna x lululemon brought together a branded frozen yoghurt machine, a branded bar, custom bowls and a toppings station.

The event's build-your-own format put the choice in guests' hands, while the team helped finish bowls at the counter. Branding carried through from the counter and machine to the bowls, giving the station a consistent look.

Menu choices, including dietary requests

Fruit and toppings

Build a shortlist of fruit, sauces and crunchy finishes. A focused selection makes it easier for guests to choose and for the bar to stay organised.

Dairy-free options

Ask about dairy-free alternatives when you enquire. We will confirm the exact base, toppings and handling arrangements for your menu. Dietary suitability is specific to the ingredients and service plan, not the whole bar.

Protein-focused briefs

If you want a high-protein option, tell us at the planning stage. We will confirm which recipe and serving can meet that brief before making a nutritional claim; toppings and portion size affect the finished bowl.

Please share allergies and dietary requirements early. Ingredients and cross-contact risks need to be checked before we confirm a suitable option.

Self-serve, with a clear service plan

Self-serve should feel simple for guests. Plan a clear route from choosing a bowl and base to adding toppings, collecting a spoon and moving away from the counter.

For a self-serve brief, we will discuss how staff support guests, oversee the station, replenish toppings and keep utensils and surfaces ready for service. The level of support and responsibilities should be set out in the quotation.

Plan for the busiest moment: tell us whether guests arrive together or throughout the event.
Agree the portion: choose the bowl size and serving approach before calculating quantities.
Keep the route clear: allow space for guests choosing toppings, and a separate way to leave the bar.
Make questions easy: agree how guests can check ingredient and allergen information before choosing.

What we need to plan your froyo bar

Date, venue and guests: Send the event date, location, expected guest numbers and service times. Tell us about any shared arrival or short break when demand will be concentrated.
Space and access: Share the proposed bar position, available space, loading route and access restrictions. For an outdoor event, include the shelter and weather plan.
Power and equipment: The machine and layout determine the electrical supply, ventilation and space required. We will confirm the specification with you and the venue before the event.
Food service and hygiene: Agree chilled storage, topping replenishment, utensil handling, cleaning, waste arrangements and access to appropriate handwashing facilities as part of the service plan.
Menu and branding: Include dietary requests, your preferred toppings, bowl size, branding brief and budget. We can then scope the equipment, service support and production work together.

Frozen yoghurt hire: your questions

What is included in frozen yoghurt bar hire?

Your proposal will set out the agreed bar, equipment, menu, portions, service support and any branding. Share your brief so we can confirm the scope, including setup, collection and any venue requirements.

Can guests serve themselves?

Yes, a self-serve format can be planned. We will agree whether guests dispense the base themselves, choose toppings with staff support, or use a combination. Staffing, hygiene arrangements and the flow of guests need to suit the venue and audience.

Can we have dairy-free or high-protein options?

Tell us what you need when you enquire. Dairy-free suitability must be confirmed for the selected ingredients and handling arrangements. A high-protein description must be supported by the final recipe and serving specification; it does not apply automatically to every bowl or topping combination.

Can you brand the froyo bar and bowls?

Yes. Bespoke branded bars are available, and we can discuss bowls, menu signage and other finishing touches. The exact elements, artwork requirements and lead times will be confirmed in your quotation.

How many guests can the bar serve?

Capacity depends on the equipment, portion size, menu and service window, especially how many guests arrive at once. Send your attendance and timings so we can recommend an appropriate setup rather than promise a fixed number of servings per hour.

What power and space do we need?

We will confirm the electrical supply, equipment footprint, working space, access and ventilation for the proposed setup. Share venue information before booking so the proposed setup can be checked.

Is this the same as soft serve ice cream or an acai bar?

This page is for frozen yoghurt and froyo event catering, including build-your-own bowls. If you want soft serve ice cream or acai bowls, explore those separate services so we can start with the right menu.

How much does frozen yoghurt hire cost?

The quote depends on your location, timings, guest numbers, menu, service format and branding. Send these details with your budget and we will scope a proposal for your event.
