Our story

Offbeat Vending launched in 2024 with a mini-fridge-sized machine (affectionately nicknamed Vendy Wendy) at Signature Brew, Haggerston — a favourite East London hangout for craft beer lovers and live music fans. Founded by Emily Garland and Matthew Traver, Offbeat Vending is now gearing up to install its second machine, this time stocked with award-winning, small-batch drinks and artisan snacks from independent UK producers.

FAQs

The part where we pretend you asked these totally normal questions.

?

Roughly the size of a small fridge. It fits comfortably in most foyers, hallways, or lounge spaces.

Customers pay by card/contactless. We offer both rental and commission-based options for venues — we’re happy to chat and find what works best.

 

Nope! We handle all stocking, maintenance, and customer support. You just host the machine and enjoy the added value.

 

Everything is made by small UK businesses and handpicked to suit the venue: art prints, jewellery, craft kits, notecards, enamel pins, artisanal drinks and snacks. All priced reasonably.

Absolutely. We’re happy to align the product selection with your business, location, or clientele.
