What to know about Thai street food van hire in Shoeburyness
Shoeburyness has plenty of character, with 26% 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 28% of homes in Shoeburyness 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.
Shoeburyness station is under a mile from the centre of Shoeburyness. Guests can arrive by train, which keeps parking simple and lets everyone enjoy a drink.
Where our food van can park in Shoeburyness
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 Shoeburyness, that could be a garden, a driveway, a farm field, a school field or an event site.
The drive from our kitchen is about 25 miles via the A127 and A13, roughly 55 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: c2c runs to London Fenchurch Street and Greater Anglia to Liverpool Street.
Build your Thai street food van hire menu
Our whole menu is available for Thai street food van hire in Shoeburyness. 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.
