Just used this amazing Lebanese shawarma chicken truck for my son’s birthday party. The shawarma was amazing. The chips went down well for the kids. Everything was fresh and served super fast, would definitely use these guys again.

Good option for a mix of adults and children. Everyone enjoyed the freshly prepared food with good vegetarian and vegan option. Efficient service, feeding about 90 in an hour and a half.

I booked Matei and team for a garden party for my son’s wedding. They arrived promptly and got set up and served 50 people with no hassle. We were very happy with the food and our guests loved it! Great value for money too! My only suggestion would be that a little improvement to communication would enhance the overall experience.

Just brilliant! This is a family-run business and their service and food were excellent. Maha was communicative in advance and the whole thing went without a hitch, even though I changed numbers of guests late on. We had some really happy guests, even the foodie ones, and couldn’t be happier with Tripoli Express. My personal highlight was Maha asking my guests to check the bride had eaten, because she hadn’t seen her collect her falafel. Thank you so much!

We had them as evening meal for our wedding and we couldn't be happier. The caterers were super discreet, explained times and way to order clearly and were both really lovely. The food was amazing, like proper street food, you get a lot for the price as well! Would highly recommend Chiki monkey for your event, especially if you have vegans coming!

The Bristol Guide to Hiring a Kebab Van

Alright, my lover? When it comes to throwing a party in Bristol, you need something with a bit of soul. This is a city that buzzes with creativity, independence, and a proper love for good, honest food. As event professionals who know the West Country scene inside out, we can tell you that the catering option currently capturing that unique Bristol spirit is the modern, ethically-minded kebab van.

Let’s be clear, this is a world away from the kebabs of old. We’re talking about a new breed of mobile caterers, grilling up high-welfare, locally sourced meats and inventive plant-based options. It’s a conscious, creative, and utterly delicious way to feed your guests, and it’s a perfect fit for this brilliant city. This is your guide to getting it just right.

Why a Kebab Van is a Lush Choice for Your Bristol Bash

Choosing your event food in Bristol means thinking about more than just taste. It’s about the vibe, the ethics, and the experience. A quality kebab van ticks all the boxes. It’s a piece of theatre, creating an instant focal point with the sights and sounds of live-fire cooking. It’s a natural conversation starter.

More than that, it’s an incredibly social way to eat. It gets people out of their seats and mingling in a way that a formal meal just can’t. In a city that’s all about community and connection, this relaxed, festival-style approach feels right at home. It’s the kind of thoughtful, unique choice that makes your celebration stand out for all the right reasons.

The Perfect Scene: When to Get a Kebab Van on Board

The beauty of a modern kebab van is its adaptability. It can rock up to a huge variety of events and feel like it was always meant to be there, serving up incredible food without any fuss.

Here are just a few Bristol events where a kebab van is the perfect partner:

  • Creative Wrap Parties: Bristol's film, TV, and creative industries are booming. A cool, informal kebab van is the ideal way to cater a wrap party, letting the cast and crew relax and celebrate a job well done.
  • Eco-Markets: With a focus on sustainability, a caterer that champions local sourcing is a natural fit for Bristol’s many eco-markets and green fairs. It’s food that aligns with the values of the event.
  • Street-Party Weddings: For a laid-back, community-focused wedding in an area like Easton or Southville, a kebab van brings a brilliant, celebratory street-party feel. It’s informal, fun, and utterly delicious.
  • Cider-Garden Gigs: What could be better than watching a band in a pub garden with a pint of local cider? Doing it with a freshly made, gourmet kebab in hand. It’s the ultimate gig food.

Finding Your Spot: Prime Locations for a Kebab Van in Bristol

Bristol is blessed with some truly unique and iconic spaces. You’ll always need to get the green light from the venue owner, but experienced food van operators are dab hands at working in all sorts of locations.

We’ve seen kebab vans add their magic to some classic Bristol settings:

  • Harbourside Spots: An event with the iconic cranes and colourful houses as a backdrop is peak Bristol. Many spaces around the harbour have the access needed for a food van.
  • Creative Studios: Converted warehouses and creative hubs like those in Spike Island or the Paintworks have the space and the cool, industrial vibe that works perfectly with street food.
  • Community Gardens: For a wholesome, grassroots event, what could be better than a food van parked up at the edge of a beautiful community garden?
  • Micro-Brewery Yards: Bristol’s craft beer scene is legendary. The yards and taprooms of its many micro-breweries are fantastic, ready-made party venues.

Always have a chat with your supplier about your chosen location. They’ll be able to offer practical advice to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Crafting a Conscientious Menu: Bristol-Style Kebabs

This is where the Bristol ethos really shines through. The best local caterers are passionate about creating menus that are not only delicious but also thoughtful and progressive.

The focus is often on a sustainable and locally sourced grill. Think high-welfare chicken from a nearby farm or lamb from the Mendips. It’s about quality you can taste and ethics you can feel good about. This is often accompanied by exciting, modern flavours in the form of flatbreads and ferments. Imagine your grilled kebab being served with tangy, homemade kimchi, crunchy pickles, and artisan sourdough flatbreads.

Dietary needs are also a top priority. Being gluten-free friendly is a key feature for many suppliers, offering excellent gluten-free breads or platter options so that no one has to miss out. This level of customisation ensures you can create a truly personal and inclusive menu for all your guests.

What's the Cost? Kebab Van Hire Prices in Bristol

When you’re booking a caterer that puts a premium on quality and ethical sourcing, the price will reflect that. Hiring a kebab van in Bristol represents fantastic value for the calibre of food and service you receive.

  • Price Per Person: For most private events, you can expect to pay between £10 and £16 per person. This covers a generous, high-quality meal for each of your guests.
  • Minimum Spend: For smaller events, suppliers will usually have a minimum spend. In and around Bristol, this typically falls between £850 and £1,600. This secures the booking and covers the supplier's costs for the event.

This price is almost always an all-in-one package, including the chefs, the service staff, and all the necessary biodegradable plates and cutlery. It’s a simple, transparent way to budget for genuinely brilliant food.
