What to know about Thai street food van hire in Great Dunmow
Great Dunmow has grown a lot in recent years, with 38% 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.
The nearest station, Stansted Airport, is about 5 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.
Great Dunmow 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 Great Dunmow
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 Great Dunmow, that could be a garden, a driveway, a farm field, a school field or an event site.
The drive from our kitchen is about 13 miles via the M11, A120 and B184, roughly 30 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: Audley End, Newport and Stansted Mountfitchet are on the line to London Liverpool Street and Cambridge.
Build your Thai street food van hire menu
Our whole menu is available for Thai street food van hire in Great Dunmow. 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.
