Thai Food Truck Hire in Wickford
Hire our Thai street food van for your event in Wickford and your guests get wok-fried noodles and curries made in front of them, just like a Bangkok street stall.
Wickford sits where the A127 and A130 meet, with a station on the Southend Victoria line and the Memorial Park at its centre. Its family homes suit birthdays and family celebrations.
Basildon was one of the first new towns after the Second World War, and today the borough mixes busy business parks with farmland and country parks.

Planning Thai street food van hire in Wickford
Wickford is a large place with about 14,723 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.
Wickford station is under a mile from the centre of Wickford. Guests can arrive by train, which keeps parking simple and lets everyone enjoy a drink.
About two thirds homes in Wickford (73%) 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 Wickford
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 Wickford, that could be a garden, a driveway, a farm field, a school field or an event site.
The drive from our kitchen is about 11 miles via the A127, A13 and A130, roughly 25 minutes, and travel is always included in your quote rather than added on later. For guests coming by train: c2c serves Basildon, Laindon and Pitsea, and Greater Anglia serves Billericay and Wickford.
Your menu, your way
Our whole menu is available for Thai street food van hire in Wickford. 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.

Can guests pay for their own food?
Our main service is pre-paid by the host per guest, which suits weddings and private events. For fêtes and public events, send us the expected numbers and we will discuss options.
How much does food van hire in Wickford cost?
Pre-paid food van service starts from £14 per guest, with a minimum spend of £1,000. Travel from Chelmsford to Wickford is included in your quote.
How much space does the food van need in Wickford?
We need a reasonably flat spot about the size of two parking bays that the van can reach, on hardstanding or firm grass, with room for a queue. Send us a photo or a map pin and we will confirm it works.
Do you need power or water?
We are largely self-sufficient and cook on our own certified gas. We talk through power and water with you or the venue when we plan the event.
Do venues in Wickford need a kitchen?
Not at all. Whether it is community and church halls or family gardens in Wickford, we arrive with cooking stations, gas and serving kit and cook on site, so the venue's own kitchen does not matter.
How far ahead should I book for an event in Wickford?
Summer Saturdays and December dates in Wickford book up months ahead, so get in touch as soon as you have a date. For weekday lunches and smaller parties, a couple of weeks is often enough. A 20% deposit secures the date.
