What to know about Thai street food van hire in Chipping Ongar

The nearest station, Shenfield, is about 6 miles away, so most guests arrive by car. Rural venues need a caterer who brings everything, and we arrive with our own gas, water containers and lighting.

Chipping Ongar 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.

About two thirds homes in Chipping Ongar (69%) 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.

Where our food van can park in Chipping Ongar

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 Chipping Ongar, that could be a garden, a driveway, a farm field, a school field or an event site.

The drive from our kitchen is about 12 miles via the M11, M25 and A414, roughly 30 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: the Central line serves Epping, Theydon Bois, Loughton, Debden, Buckhurst Hill and Chigwell.

Build your Thai street food van hire menu
