What to know about Thai street food van hire in Canvey Island
Three in four homes in Canvey Island (76%) are detached or semi-detached, so most hosts have a garden or driveway to work with. Our food van needs a level pitch about the size of two parking bays, which many driveways and side gardens here can offer.
Canvey Island is a large place with about 14,381 households. A town this size has every kind of venue, from function rooms and sports clubs to offices and community centres, and we have the capacity for big guest lists.
Canvey Island has plenty of larger family homes, with room for a bigger guest list at home. Larger homes mean bigger guest lists at home, so two stations work well: one for mains and one for satay and starters.
Where our food van can park in Canvey Island
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 Canvey Island, that could be a garden, a driveway, a farm field, a school field or an event site.
The drive from our kitchen is about 19 miles via the A13, A127 and A130, roughly 40 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: Benfleet station is on the c2c line to London Fenchurch Street.
Build your Thai street food van hire menu
Our whole menu is available for Thai street food van hire in Canvey Island. A good start is Veg Gun Peacemaker stir fry, spring rolls and Sukhumvit Pad Thai with Isaan Thai Green Curry and Gai Satay, but every menu is built around your guests, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes and clear allergen labels on everything.
