The 8oz Popcorn Machine provides freshly prepared popcorn for home movie nights, birthdays and organised events in Drogheda, Balbriggan, Clogherhead, Dunleer, Ardee and Dundalk. The hire includes the commercial-grade machine, ingredients and 50 popcorn cones or boxes, giving organisers the main supplies needed to create a dedicated serving point.
From Maize to 50 Ready-to-Serve Portions
The hire package includes:
- Commercial-grade 8oz popcorn machine
- Maize for preparing the popcorn
- Salt and flavouring
- Butter or oil
- 50 popcorn cones or boxes
The included cones or boxes provide 50 individual servings. If the event has more than 50 guests or popcorn will be served more than once, ask SuperBounce about the additional ingredients and serving supplies required.
Prepare the Popcorn in Managed Batches
An 8oz machine prepares popcorn in batches rather than producing every portion simultaneously. The operator can begin before the planned serving time and continue preparing further batches as guests arrive.
For a scheduled movie night, have the first portions ready before the film begins. At a birthday or family event, popcorn can be introduced during a break between activities. This reduces congestion around the machine and prevents every guest arriving at the serving point at once.
Set Up a Working Side and a Guest Side
The operator needs space for maize, ingredients, empty boxes and prepared portions. Guests only need access to the collection point. Keeping these two sides separate produces a more orderly serving area.
A 6ft Trestle Table Timber can hold boxes, napkins and completed portions beside the machine. Do not crowd the working surface with gifts, drinks, coats or unrelated event supplies.
Position the table and machine on a firm, level surface near a suitable electrical supply. Keep cables away from busy walkways and places where chairs will be moved.
Popcorn for Home Movie Nights
A popcorn machine can give a home movie night a clearly defined refreshment station without requiring the host to prepare individual snacks in the kitchen. The included 50 boxes or cones also make portions easier to distribute before guests sit down.
Place the machine outside the main viewing route so late servings do not interrupt the screen. If the film is shown outdoors, check that the machine, power connection and serving supplies have suitable protection and remain on a stable surface.
Birthdays and Children’s Events
At a children’s birthday, popcorn should be served away from the bouncy castle or inflatable activity. Children must leave the equipment before receiving food and finish eating before returning.
The machine can accompany bouncy castles, bounce and slide inflatables or garden games, provided the venue has a separate refreshment area.
Food queues must not enter anchoring, blower or safety-mat zones. A supervising adult should remain responsible for the inflatable while another person manages the popcorn station.
Popcorn at Weddings and Company Events
Popcorn can also be served during a wedding evening, staff social, corporate family day or community occasion. Its portioned format makes it suitable for events where guests move between several activities.
For a formal event, keep preparation supplies out of the guest-facing section and arrange filled cones or boxes neatly on a separate surface. Furniture, linen and lighting can be added through party extras.
Add Slush Drinks to the Serving Area
The Single Barrel Slush Machine provides one flavour, while the Twin Barrel Slush Machine offers two flavour choices. Either can complement popcorn where sufficient power and serving space are available.
Each machine needs its own working clearance. Avoid placing several commercial units on a table that is too small for safe preparation. Browse fun food machines when planning a combined refreshment station.
Covered Popcorn Service
The 10ft x 10ft Gazebo can provide compact cover for a suitable serving point. Larger event structures are available through marquees and gazebos.
The machine should not obstruct a gazebo or marquee doorway. Guests need enough room to collect their popcorn and move away without crossing the operator’s working area.
Delivery and Collection
Standard delivery takes place between 8am and 12pm. Collection times are:
- 1 June to 30 September: 7pm to 10pm
- 1 October to 31 May: 6pm to 9pm
Tell SuperBounce in advance if the hall or venue has a fixed closing time. Keep the machine in its agreed position until the collection team arrives.
