If you're looking for a coffee machine supplier Somerset businesses can rely on, Blend 2 Vend covers the county from our Bournemouth base, directly adjoining Somerset's eastern border as part of our established South West coverage. We supply on rental or lease to own terms, and the same fully managed process applies whether you're running an office in Taunton or a guest-facing hotel near the coast.
Towns and Areas We Cover Across Somerset
Blend 2 Vend's coverage across Somerset includes Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater, Wells and Frome, along with the businesses in between. Somerset borders our existing Dorset and Hampshire coverage directly to the east, so it's serviced as part of the same regional operation run from our Bournemouth base.
Coffee for Somerset's Hospitality and Visitor Economy, Not Just Offices
Somerset's commercial mix is different from a purely office-based county — alongside its offices and business premises, it has a large hospitality and visitor economy, from coastal hotels and holiday parks to attractions across the Mendips and around Wells. A coffee machine in a guest-facing setting has different demands to one in a back office: it needs to perform consistently under higher, less predictable footfall, and represent well to visitors, not just staff.
For example, a hotel reception on the coast might need a machine that keeps up with a busy weekend checkout queue as well as staff use, while a Taunton office only needs to cover a steady mid-morning rush — the same fully managed model works for both, but the machine and service plan chosen at consultation won't be identical.
Blend 2 Vend's fully managed model works for both:
- Consultation covers your actual use case — a hotel reception and an internal office kitchen aren't given the same machine or service plan by default
- Servicing and restocking are scheduled around your business, which matters more for a hospitality site with weekend and seasonal peaks
- One contract, one team regardless of whether the site is guest-facing or staff-only
The Businesses We Work With Across Somerset
- Hotels and holiday parks, where a bean-to-cup machine that performs reliably for guests replaces the pod machines many properties start with — see our dedicated look at hotel coffee solutions for more on this
- Offices in Taunton, Yeovil and Bridgwater, where a straightforward bean-to-cup setup suits day-to-day staff use
- Car dealership showrooms, where a premium coffee offer is part of the customer experience while people wait
- Gyms and leisure centres in market towns like Wells and Frome, where members expect a proper coffee on-site
What's Included: Rental, Lease to Own and Full Service
Somerset businesses can choose between two ways to get a machine on-site:
Coffee machine rental
A fixed monthly fee with no ownership at the end — you can renew, upgrade or return the machine as your needs change. This suits businesses with seasonal footfall that don't want to commit long-term to a specific machine.
Coffee machine lease to own
Monthly payments that work towards owning the machine outright at the end of the agreed term, via finance through Shire Leasing (subject to eligibility). This suits businesses that would rather build towards owning the equipment.
Both options include the same core service as standard:
- Free consultation to recommend the right machine for your space and footfall
- Free demo, so you can try the coffee before committing
- Professional installation
- On-site training for your team
- Ongoing servicing, maintenance and a support line
- Regular restocking of beans, milk and consumables
If you're not sure which option suits your business, our rental vs lease to own comparison breaks down the difference in more detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Blend 2 Vend a direct supplier, or do you broker the work out to a local installer?
Direct. Consultation, installation, servicing and restocking are all handled by our own team, not passed to a third-party contractor once you're in Somerset. The supplier you speak to at consultation is the same team responsible for the machine afterwards.
Does Blend 2 Vend cover the whole of Somerset, or just the towns closest to Dorset?
The whole county — from Yeovil and Wells in the east to Bridgwater and Taunton further west. Somerset borders our established Dorset and Hampshire coverage directly, so it's serviced as part of the same regional operation.
Can a hotel or holiday park get a machine that handles guest-facing demand, not just staff use?
Yes. Consultation covers your actual footfall and use case, so a guest-facing hospitality setup is recommended a machine suited to higher, less predictable demand rather than a standard office-spec machine.
Do servicing and restocking work differently for a seasonal business, like a holiday park?
Servicing and restocking are scheduled around your business, so a site with clear seasonal peaks can have its visits planned accordingly rather than following a fixed generic schedule.
Is there a minimum contract length or number of machines needed to get coverage in Somerset?
No — the same fully managed service is available whether you need one machine or several across multiple Somerset sites. Get in touch and we'll talk through what fits your setup.
