The fast growing trend of eating outdoors means that al fresco dining is becoming a trend, the more unusual the better! Since the pandemic our love for eating outdoors has grown and business owners ̈all over the UK are creating quirky and scenic outdoor dining experiences to satisfy our needs.

Just a pleasant restaurant won't do but instead we are searching for stunning settings by rivers and lakes, to eating in a greenhouse or following a travelling restaurant. Outdoor dining shacks and sheds are now commonplace. Our eateries are more and more imaginative in order to attract their customers.

The mobility of pop up restaurants is attractive to owners, allowing them to offer a gourmet experience where traditional restaurants cannot go. From rural beauty spots to festivals, fields, and farms. The versatility of our dining options relies not only on delicious local food but more importantly on power!

Restaurant owners, whatever their style and location are always looking to improve their customer experience and entice diners. Landowners can reuse their sites and encourage businesses to invest by offering a reliable power source. Traditionally a generator would be required, however these are unsightly, noisey and surely would ruin a pleasant meal!

Pop Up Power Supplies have a range of Retractable Service Units which can provide an outdoor power source for outdoor restaurants. They can either provide power with the lid locked down, in-ground, or can be lowered back into the ground when not in use.

Despite the trend for unusual dining experiences, these kinds of sites face obvious challenges. The unpredictability of the weather and of course navigating the power needed to run an eatery.

Many such businesses operate now on social media to advertise their unique experience, many collaborate with local businesses and landowners, campsites or farms.

The food industry’s expansion and innovation is testament to our ever changing culinary scene. More flexible, sustainable and diverse businesses will flourish, playing a pivotal role in the local economy and community.

Pop Up Power Supplies can help and have three main units in their range – pop up units, power bollards and in-ground, all of which provide a range of outdoor power. Each unit is available with a range of configurations, as well as bespoke in-ground power units or pop up units with recessed tops that can accommodate different forms of surface material such as paving or grass.

Pop Up Power Supplies® would love to specify their pop up power units to help diversify your restaurant or land.
