Our old faithful, May
It all started with a 1965 VW Split Window camper van named 'May'.
Prior to having a permanent venue, The Splitscreen Co served up their locally-roasted barista coffee at specialist events, festivals, parties and weddings.
Serving locally-roasted barista coffee 2013-2024.
Our show-stopper of a van was born in 1965 in Wolfsburg, Germany, and started life as a bread delivery vehicle for the local byckerei (German bakery). She then became a family camper in Poland, before being shipped over to England in 2005 to reside in Malvern.
There she was restored by a VW enthusiast and spent several years as a show car. In 2013, she became a unique working van again and was converted to the mobile café that started The Splitscreen Coffee Company.
Beautiful May allowed us to bring warming coffee and sumptuous baked goods dircet to the people. Our team of skilled baristas took to the streets at local events and festivals to serve up the best coffee beans, roasted to perfection locally with fresh, homemade and delicious complementary treats to suit any situation or season. Pimms, Victoria sponge cake and sweets for the summer; spiced pumpkin soup and toffee apples in autumn; mulled wine, Baileys, coffee and minced pies for winter.
She was so sooooool.
In the Spring of 2024, we decided to set May free for new adventures and to focus on our wonderful permanent location at Parkers Yard.
“We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to our loyal customers and the community for their unwavering support over the years - it’s been an absolute blast!”
Jen & Mike.
“We have used Splitscreen for over 3 years at our exhibits around the country. The van is always a great attraction - Jen and her team have become an integral part of our success! It never fails to amaze us the great food and drink that they produce in such a small van. They are helpful, flexible, great with customers, and a pleasure to work with each year.”
