Case Studies
Cake Corner
Cake Corner began as a passion project in a small home kitchen and has grown into a thriving bakery brand with multiple locations and workshops. What started as sharing homemade creations on Instagram quickly evolved into a fully-fledged business, driven by creativity, quality, and a dedication to delighting customers with beautifully crafted cakes and baked goods. To support their pop-up events and catering services, Cake Corner required a reliable shelter to work from, choosing our 3m x 3m Canopro Lite gazebo, a popular size and grade for mobile food vendors. Working closely with our in-house design and print studio, we created a vibrant, custom-printed shelter that showcases their brand with striking colour and design. The setup was completed with printed sidewalls for added weather protection and a printed front half wall, creating a professional, eye-catching shopfront that is both practical and visually engaging for event visitors.
The Homemade Brownie Company
The Homemade Brownie Company grew from a simple home-kitchen experiment into a nationwide brownie brand, born out of founders determination to create indulgent treats that everyone could enjoy. What started as a personal solution quickly gained a loyal following, transforming a passion project into a thriving business loved by customers across the UK. To support their event trading & market pop-ups, we supplied The Homemade Brownie Company with a 3m x 3m Canopro Lite Shelter with sidewalls. This size is ideal for food vendors and market stalls, offering ample space for food preparation, displays, and customer interaction while remaining quick and easy to set up. Working closely with our in-house design and print team, we created a fully custom-printed canopy that proudly showcases their logo and branding, helping them attract attention and reinforce brand recognition from a distance. To complete their setup, The Homemade Brownie Company also invested in custom printed table covers, creating a polished and cohesive storefront to beautifully display their brownies. For added safety and peace of mind, steel weights were supplied to securely anchor the gazebo in windy conditions, ensuring trading is never disrupted. They have also ordered custom printed roller banners, a versatile and portable marketing tool that’s perfect for promoting products, offers and further enhancing visibility at events. Together, these elements create a professional, eye-catching, and reliable trading space that supports their continued success on the road.
Rys Slice
Ryan from Ry’s Slice turned to Surf & Turf Instant Shelters to create the perfect setup for his pop-up pizza catering business in the Scottish Highlands. Inspired by other mobile food vendors, he chose a sleek black 3m x 3m Canopro Lite gazebo with custom valance logo printing, a branded half wall for being able to serve over a hatch, and a combination of our 3m blow-moulded counters and exhibition tables making it the perfect workspace solution for both preparing and serving pizza. Ry’s Slice also utilizes our clip-on LED gazebo lights to enhance visibility in his workspace during the dark winter evenings. Our high-quality, branded shelters are a recipe for success at weddings, events, and beyond.
Hip Hop Chip Shop
Located in Manchester, The Hip Hop Chip Shop is a fish & chip shop themed around hip-hop music. They were recently voted as the second best chippy in the country. Since the pandemic, outdoor seating areas at bars, pubs, restaurants and take aways have seen a massive boom. The Hip-Hop Chip Shop wanted to provide an enjoyable outdoor dining experience for their customers that would keep business going through the unpredictable Manchester weather. They opted for multiple bespoke 3m x 1.5m Canopro Lite shelters finished in an eye catching custom printed patterned.
Triple B
From the team behind Eat New York, Triple B specialise in bagels, burgers and beers. They required a pop up gazebo that they could use whilst cooking and serving up their mouth watering food at different locations. With their unique branding, our design & print studio worked closely with Triple B on the design of this unique shelter. From hand drawn illustrations all the way to a large format print canvas. This 3x3 gazebo is one of our favourites we have printed and is sure to attract attention no matter the location.
Piperoni
Piperoni is a traditional wood fired Neapolitan pizza business that cooks at events out of the back of their converted Land Rover. As they are required to travel to a wide range of events they needed a shelter that was easy to transport and also keep them protected no matter the weather. Our 3m x 3m and 2m x 2m shelters were the obvious choices. Piperoni also opted to have these gazebos branded with our in-house design and print team to showcase who they are up and down the country.
