What to know about Thai street food van hire in Great Leighs
Great Leighs has grown a lot in recent years, with 46% 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.
Great Leighs 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 Great Leighs (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 Great Leighs
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 Leighs, that could be a garden, a driveway, a farm field, a school field or an event site.
The drive from our kitchen is about 9 miles via the A12, A130 and A414, roughly 25 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: Chelmsford station is on the Great Eastern Main Line, with direct trains to London Liverpool Street.
Build your Thai street food van hire menu
Our whole menu is available for Thai street food van hire in Great Leighs. A good start is Sukhumvit Pad Thai, Isaan Thai Green Curry and Gai Satay with Veg Gun Peacemaker stir fry and spring rolls, but every menu is built around your guests, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes and clear allergen labels on everything.
