Planning Thai street food van hire in Purley
Purley is a busy working district, full of offices and workplaces. Office buildings here usually need a delivery slot, security sign-in and a goods lift, which we arrange with your facilities team in advance.
Purley is a family neighbourhood of houses with gardens, schools and parks. Children's birthdays, christenings and garden parties are what families here book most, with mild dishes for younger guests.
Food van access in Purley
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 Purley, that could be a garden, a driveway, a farm field, a school field or an event site.
The drive from our kitchen is about 46 miles via the A23 and A232, roughly an hour and a half, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. Purley is inside London's Ultra Low Emission Zone, which our vehicles are planned for, and any charge is built into your quote. For guests coming by train: East Croydon, West Croydon and Tramlink.

A good start is Isaan Thai Green Curry, Gai Satay and Veg Gun Peacemaker stir fry with spring rolls and Sukhumvit Pad Thai, but every menu is built around your guests, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes and clear allergen labels on everything.
