The Sweet St. masala chai cart set up and serving at an event

Masala chai cart hire for weddings & events

Traditionally brewed masala and karak chai, poured fresh from our cart with unlimited refills. Based in Leicester, serving events across England.

Warm welcome Masala chai being poured from the Sweet St. chai cart
Traditionally brewed

Chai brewed on the cart, not poured from an urn

Our chai cart brews masala and karak chai properly and continuously through your event — spiced, rich and served hot, with unlimited refills for every guest.

It is the easiest way to give arriving guests something in their hands. Weddings and mehndi nights run long, and a chai cart at the door does more for the mood of a room than almost anything else you can put there.

Everything we serve is halal, and the cart needs nothing more from your venue than a standard socket for the kettle.

What you get

Masala & karak

Both brewed traditionally on the cart. Pick one or run the two together.

Brewed throughout

Made continuously during service rather than held in an urn, so every cup is fresh.

Arrival drinks, an afternoon lift, or a late-evening warmer before people head home.

Corporate events

Client days, Diwali celebrations and staff mornings with something better than the office kettle.

Relaxed gatherings where a drinks station keeps people mingling.

Gol gappe & chaat

Chai and chaat belong together — a live savoury counter with samosa and papdi chaat to order.

Eggless mini Dutch pancakes cooked live, finished with premium toppings and sauces.

Waffle station

Crisp golden waffles made fresh on site — a natural match for a hot cup of chai.

Good to know

Frequently asked

What kinds of chai do you serve?

Masala chai and karak chai, both brewed traditionally on the cart throughout your event. Tell us which you'd like, or have both running side by side.

Are refills included?

Yes — unlimited refills for the whole service window. Guests come back as often as they like and there's no per-cup counting.

Is the chai served with anything?

The cart serves chai on its own. If you'd like something alongside it, our dessert carts and chaat counter pair well and can be quoted together.

What do you need from the venue?

One standard UK socket for the kettle, and enough space for the cart. We can talk to your venue directly if they need details ahead of the day.

How long do you serve for?

A typical service window is two hours, with about an hour beforehand for setup. Many clients run the chai cart as guests arrive, then again later in the evening — tell us your running order and we'll work to it.

Can we book the chai cart on its own?

Yes. It works as a standalone welcome station just as well as it does alongside a dessert cart, and it's a strong choice for winter and outdoor events.
