About Us

The story so far ...

My name is David and I am the owner/operator of Hastings Old Town Espresso & Catering.

I would like to tell you a little about myself, how I got to where I am today and how my business may be able to help you.

Born and raised in Hastings and after working for many years at a large family owned restaurant chain dealing with the logistics of their catering appliances, I moved on in 2005 and started working for a local Espresso Machine and Catering Equipment Engineer.

Mike Norris worked for “Still’s Hastings” for many years installing and maintaining commercial pressurised water boilers for the catering industry. When he left their services he set up on his own and took me on as his apprentice. I gained a wealth of knowledge in the 8 years working under his wing and having completed a City & Guilds Level 3 in Electrotechnical Technology, I went on my own following his retirement in 2013.

Since then I have built a large customer base and an extensive knowledge of Espresso Machines and Electrical Catering Equipment.

The Aim has always been the same, to supply quality new machines or repair existing equipment to the highest standard. To be reliable, dependable and build long lasting relationships with my customers.

The vision for the future is simple, to build on my established foundations, provide a greater amount of products, services, solutions and advice to help your business grow and thrive!
