What to know about Thai street food van hire in Barking
Barking has one of the most diverse communities in London, with big family celebrations all year round. Large guest lists are normal here, so we plan extra cooking stations and staff to keep service quick.
Barking is a family neighbourhood of houses with gardens, schools and parks. Children's birthdays, christenings and garden parties are what families here book most, with mild dishes for younger guests.
Where our food van can park in Barking
Our horse-box food van needs a level pitch about the size of two parking bays and a clear route in. It is fully self-contained with its own gas and equipment, so power and water on site are a bonus rather than a must.
Around Barking, that could be a garden, a driveway, a farm field, a school field or an event site.
The drive from our kitchen is about 27 miles via the A13 and A12, roughly 55 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. Barking is inside London's Ultra Low Emission Zone, which our vehicles are planned for, and any charge is built into your quote. For guests coming by train: Barking, the District line and the Overground to Barking Riverside.

A good start is spring rolls, Sukhumvit Pad Thai and Isaan Thai Green Curry with Gai Satay and Veg Gun Peacemaker stir fry, but every menu is built around your guests, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes and clear allergen labels on everything.
