What to know about Thai street food van hire in Colchester
Colchester is a large place with about 30,659 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.
Around 31% of homes in Colchester are flats, so many hosts here book a local hall, a pub function room or a communal space, and we come to them. For flats without outdoor space we serve a hot buffet in chafing dishes, cooked fresh and delivered ready to eat.
Colchester has grown a lot in recent years, with 32% of its homes built since 2000. New-build gardens are often compact, so a buffet indoors with food cooked on our station outside works best.
Where our food van can park in Colchester
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 Colchester, 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 A12 and A120, roughly 55 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: Colchester and Colchester Town stations link to London Liverpool Street and the Sunshine Coast line.
Build your Thai street food van hire menu
Our whole menu is available for Thai street food van hire in Colchester. 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.

How much does food van hire in Colchester cost?
Pre-paid food van service starts from £14 per guest, with a minimum spend of £1,000. Travel from Chelmsford to Colchester is included in your quote.
How much space does the food van need in Colchester?
We need a reasonably flat spot about the size of two parking bays that the van can reach, on hardstanding or firm grass, with room for a queue. Send us a photo or a map pin and we will confirm it works.
Do you need power or water?
We are largely self-sufficient and cook on our own certified gas. We talk through power and water with you or the venue when we plan the event.
Can guests pay for their own food?
Our main service is pre-paid by the host per guest, which suits weddings and private events. For fêtes and public events, send us the expected numbers and we will discuss options.
Do venues in Colchester need a kitchen?
No. Venues without a kitchen are our everyday work in Colchester, from converted barns to university and conference spaces. We set up our own cooking stations close to where guests eat and leave the space as we found it.
How far ahead should I book for an event in Colchester?
For a summer wedding or a Christmas party in Colchester, months rather than weeks. Office lunches and smaller parties can often be arranged within a fortnight. A 20% deposit confirms your booking.
