What to know about Thai street food van hire in Harwich
Harwich has plenty of character, with 44% of its homes built before 1919. Older places usually have a church hall, a village hall or a historic pub that makes a characterful venue, and we check the rules on cooking and power in advance.
Around 36% of homes in Harwich 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.
Harwich Town station is under a mile from the centre of Harwich. Guests can arrive by train, which keeps parking simple and lets everyone enjoy a drink.
Where our food van can park in Harwich
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 Harwich, that could be a garden, a driveway, a farm field, a school field or an event site.
The drive from our kitchen is about 48 miles via the A120 and A133, roughly an hour and a half, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: the Sunshine Coast line serves Clacton and Walton, and the Mayflower line serves Manningtree and Harwich.
Build your Thai street food van hire menu
Our whole menu is available for Thai street food van hire in Harwich. 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.
