Beyond Predictable Buffets: Transforming Food Service into Live Spectacle
For decades, event catering followed a formulaic script: food and drinks were pre-mixed in windowless kitchens, stored in heated chafing dishes or domestic chillers, and quietly handed across a table. The passion, craftsmanship, and visual thrill of culinary creation remained completely out of sight.
Bradley Smith set out to challenge that model. Beginning in 2012 with Whipsmiths, he combined a background in mechanical design with culinary curiosity to bring the creation process front and centre. By harnessing food-grade liquid nitrogen at -196°C, liquid nitrogen ice cream, fresh fruit sorbets, and molecular cocktails could be freshly frozen in seconds directly before the eyes of astonished guests.
This vision evolved into Sixth Sense Events. Our brand name reflects our core philosophy: by fully engaging the five human senses – the dramatic vision of rolling cryogenic vapour, the sharp crackle of sub-zero freezing, the rich aroma of botanical essences, the silky micro-crystalline texture, and intense artisanal taste – we awaken a *sixth sense*: pure, lasting wonder.
“When guests watch liquid nitrogen churn fresh cream at -196°C or inhale aromatic edible flavour vapour, food ceases to be mere sustenance. It becomes a shared spectacle that people film, talk about, and remember for years.”
– Bradley Smith, Founder & Inventor
Patented Sub-Zero Engineering: EP 2897469 B1 & US 10,743,561 B2
Unlike typical hire agencies that lease standard domestic or imported appliances, Sixth Sense Events designs, fabricates, and patents its own culinary hardware. Bradley Smith spent years perfecting cryogenic mechanical thermodynamics, securing granted European and United States patents for our proprietary apparatus.
European & US Patent Protection
Titled “Apparatus and method for making a frozen confectionary product”, this invention is officially registered with the European Patent Office and the US Patent and Trademark Office, confirming our role as authentic creators of sub-zero event dessert machinery.
Orbital Scrapers & Micro-Crystals
Rapid sub-zero freezing at -196°C freezes water molecules so swiftly that macroscopic ice crystals cannot form. Our patented orbital scraping blades continuously sheer freezing dessert from container walls, producing an exceptionally velvety micro-crystalline mouthfeel.
Sub-Zero Single-Portion Engineering
Designed specifically for live culinary theatre, the patented apparatus eliminates pre-frozen inventory by churning each guest’s customised recipe from scratch on the spot. With rapid cycle mechanics, each station seamlessly delivers 100 fresh, personalised portions per hour.

From concept sketches and 3D CAD renders to bespoke handcrafted bar structures
In-House Design, Fabrication & Custom Brand Activation Builds
Our creative vision extends far beyond the churn. We conceptualise and art-direct bespoke bars, branded carts, and mobile event structures tailored to your campaign, collaborating closely with our selected partner workshops and specialist fabricators to turn concepts into flawless, road-ready event builds.
From constructing a fully functional life-sized wooden pirate ship bar for The Kraken Black Spiced Rum to custom-wrapped vintage roadshow vans for Pureology and illuminated modular bars for KPMG, we handle full design-to-delivery logistics under one roof. Our technical team works alongside corporate brand guardians to ensure 100% fidelity to Pantone colours, vinyl branding guidelines, and venue load-in requirements.
Small-Batch Prep, Pure Ingredients & Bespoke Recipes
Theatrical apparatus is only as good as the recipes it churns. In our certified commercial prep facility, every ice cream base, botanical syrup, and cocktail cordial is produced from scratch using whole, natural ingredients. We source organic dairy from British farms and combine it with pure Madagascan vanilla, Belgian chocolate, and real fruit purees.
We also specialise in allergen-conscious culinary innovation, developing rich, silky vegan ice cream bases from coconut and oat milks that perform flawlessly under cryogenic flash-freezing. Whether colour-matching a corporate brand’s signature palette or creating bespoke theatrical cocktail bar menus for luxury weddings, our culinary team delivers extraordinary taste alongside visual drama.
