About Chuckles

Two Pritchetts.
One serious
espresso machine.

Chuckles Coffee is a family operation. Born out of years working around film sets. A love for good coffee and a sharp dislike of bad ones.

Our story

It started with a bad coffee.

Between us, we’ve spent the best part of two decades working on film sets, commercials and live events. The hours are long. The weather is rarely kind. And the coffee, well, the coffee has often been terrible.

So we built the thing we wished had been there. A proper mobile coffee truck, kitted out with kit we’d put in our own kitchen, pulling beans we’d actually drink ourselves. No compromises. No instant. No drama.

Turns out a lot of crews feel the same way. We’ve been rolling up to sets, shoots and events across the UK ever since.

The team behind the bar.

Robbie

Robbie Pritchett

Co-Founder & Logistics

The one keeping the truck on the road, the diary full, and the generator charged. Background in event production, plus a proper working knowledge of every B-road in the country.

Freddie

Freddie Pritchett

Co-Founder & Head Barista

Years of experience with UK film crews, a keen espresso obsessive, and the one pulling the shots. If you've been on a set in the Home Counties lately, he's probably made your 6am flat white.

The kit

Tools chosen, not compromised.

The espresso machine

La Marzocco Linea Mini

A professional-grade machine built in Florence.
Temperature-stable, beautifully engineered, and the same kit the top London coffee shops pull shots on.

The beans

Square Mile Coffee Roasters

Roasted weekly in East London.
Direct-trade, seasonal and properly sourced.
Their espresso blend is what you'll taste in every cup we pour.

Why Chuckles

Three things we don't compromise on.

01

The coffee

Square Mile beans. La Marzocco machine. No exceptions.

02

The service

Silent, punctual, and polite. We know our way around a set.

03

The people

You'll always get Robbie or Freddie, never a subcontracted stranger.
