Thai Food Truck Hire in West Mersea
Hire our Thai street food van for your event in West Mersea and your guests get wok-fried noodles and curries made in front of them, just like a Bangkok street stall.
West Mersea is the main town on Mersea Island, reached over the Strood causeway, which floods at the highest tides. We plan Mersea deliveries around the tide times so we never get caught out.
The Colchester district stretches from the Dedham Vale on the Suffolk border down to Mersea Island and the Blackwater estuary.

Planning Thai street food van hire in West Mersea
The nearest station, Wivenhoe, is about 6 miles away, so most guests arrive by car. With most guests driving, it helps to plan parking and leave a clear route for our van to reach the cooking area.
West Mersea has plenty of larger family homes, with room for a bigger guest list at home. In bigger houses we can serve indoors in the kitchen or conservatory and cook outside, keeping cooking smells out of the house.
Three in four homes in West Mersea (83%) 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.
Food van access in West Mersea
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 West Mersea, that could be a garden, a driveway, a farm field, a school field or an event site.
The drive from our kitchen is about 24 miles via the A12 and A120, roughly 50 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: Colchester and Colchester Town stations link to London Liverpool Street and the Sunshine Coast line.
