What to know about Thai street food van hire in Southend-on-Sea
Southend-on-Sea is a large place with about 39,012 households. A town this size has every kind of venue, from function rooms and sports clubs to offices and community centres, and we have the capacity for big guest lists.
Southend-on-Sea has plenty of character, with 46% 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 51% of homes in Southend-on-Sea 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.
Where our food van can park in Southend-on-Sea
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 Southend-on-Sea, that could be a garden, a driveway, a farm field, a school field or an event site.
The drive from our kitchen is about 21 miles via the A127 and A13, roughly 45 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 Southend-on-Sea. 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.
