Work With Us
We host regular food pop-ups, seeking to collaborate with vendors who provide exceptional food that matches the high quality of our drinks offering.
Our inside space may be small, but our outside area is has seating for around 60 people; when we host food vendors, we regularly fill this outdoor space.
Dronfield is an affluent area, but it doesn’t have a diverse range of high quality food offerings, so there’s a real opportunity for the right vendors.
Services
We have an external 32a commando socket, with adaptors to convert to 16a commando socket or standard 13a plug.
We can fill water containers, but we don’t have an outside water connection.

“Vendor Testimonial: The Beer Stop
Finding the right pop-up location is about consistent demand, the right customers, and a team that actively supports your success – The Beer Stop delivers on all fronts.
Fridays and Saturdays provide a strong, steady service, and the venue holds the record for our fastest-ever sell-out, which speaks to the quality of footfall and buying intent. The customer base is a genuine mix of families, drinkers, and food-focused visitors, with around 80% repeat custom, creating reliable trade week after week.
The location itself works in your favour. A combination of regulars and walk-ins, plus convenient parking on both sides, helps drive continuous traffic. The seating area and relaxed atmosphere also encourage customers to stay longer, benefiting overall spend.
Operationally, it’s one of the easiest sites we trade. Power access is straightforward, and Chris and the team are exceptionally supportive, going above and beyond to make each pop-up run smoothly. Their active social media promotion also plays a key role in driving awareness and turnout.
Having worked across multiple venues, The Beer Stop stands out as a top-tier location. The consistency, customer quality, and level of support made it an easy decision for us to commit to a 12-month run of pop-ups.

Our Verdict
“The Beer Stop is exactly what you want from a pop-up venue—busy, well-supported, and commercially strong. It’s delivered some of our best services to date, including our quickest sell-out, and remains one of our most reliable trading locations.”

“We love trading at The Beer Stop, it’s quickly become our favourite pub pop up. Chris and the team are incredibly welcoming and genuinely invested in making sure every trader has a successful service.
One of the standout things is how well weekends are managed. You’re never competing with a crowded lineup of food traders. Which means you can really maximise sales. While the pub itself is cosy inside, the outdoor space is great and really comes alive around 7pm, especially on sunny evenings.
The location is a huge advantage too. With limited takeaway options nearby, there’s a steady stream of customers popping in for a pint and grabbing food to go. We always see plenty of returning faces.
Setup is simple thanks to the accessible outdoor plug, and from April through to September we typically serve around 70–80 covers.
Overall, it’s a brilliant spot with a loyal customer base, great atmosphere, and a team that truly supports traders. We couldn’t recommend The Beer Stop highly enough!”
