Planning Thai street food van hire in Dedham
Dedham has plenty of character, with 31% of its homes built before 1919. Historic buildings often limit what can be cooked indoors, so we cook outside under our gazebo and serve inside.
Dedham has plenty of larger family homes, with room for a bigger guest list at home. In bigger houses we can serve indoors in the kitchen or conservatory and cook outside, keeping cooking smells out of the house.
About two thirds homes in Dedham (65%) 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.
Food van access in Dedham
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 Dedham, that could be a garden, a driveway, a farm field, a school field or an event site.
The drive from our kitchen is about 34 miles via the A12 and A120, roughly 65 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.
Your menu, your way
Our whole menu is available for Thai street food van hire in Dedham. A good start is Gai Satay, Veg Gun Peacemaker stir fry and spring rolls with Sukhumvit Pad Thai and Isaan Thai Green Curry, but every menu is built around your guests, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes and clear allergen labels on everything.
