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!

Excellent food and service from Maha and her crew. Everyone said how good the food was - it was so tasty. Everything went just as I planned. I couldn't be happier. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food, my guests were extremely complimentary about every aspect, the vegans and veggies felt well catered for, plus the coeliac. The chicken was delicious and amazing chips! The only downside was the queueing time, guests waited around 20-30mins to be served, a third member of staff would have been useful.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

Hiring a Kebab Van in Leicester: A Buyer’s Guide for Brilliant Events

If you’re planning an event in Leicester and want food that’s crowd-pleasing, flavour-packed, and guaranteed to get people smiling, a kebab van is a cracking place to start. From weddings and student parties to cultural festivals and community get-togethers, kebab vans have become one of Leicester’s most in-demand catering options. And honestly, it’s not hard to see why. Freshly grilled meats, sizzling flatbreads, vibrant salads, and sauces that deserve their own fan club. What’s not to love?

We’ve pulled together this buyer’s guide to help you hire the right kebab van in Leicester, without the stress, the guesswork, or the late-night Googling. Whether you’re hosting 40 mates in a community hall or a few hundred guests in a park, we’ll walk you through what to expect, what to budget, and how to make sure your kebab van delivers the goods on the big day.

Why Kebab Vans Work So Well in Leicester

Leicester has one of the most diverse food scenes in the UK, and that cultural mix shows up beautifully in its kebab vans. You’ll often find menus inspired by South Asian and Middle Eastern flavours, sometimes blended into clever fusion dishes that go way beyond the classic late-night takeaway. Think spiced grilled chicken, lamb kofta, falafel, halloumi, vibrant slaws, and freshly baked flatbreads. It’s proper event food. Hearty, flexible, and easy to serve to a crowd.

They’re also wonderfully adaptable. A kebab van can roll up to a uni venue, set up in a park, or tuck into a corner of a community hall car park without much fuss. It’s hot food, cooked fresh, with the theatre of a grill and the smell of spices doing half the marketing for you.

Event Types That Are Perfect for Kebab Vans

Kebab vans are one of those rare catering options that work just as well at a laid-back party as they do at a formal celebration. In Leicester, we see them most often at:

  • Weddings
  • Student parties
  • Cultural festivals
  • Community events

If your guest list is mixed, with different tastes, dietary needs, and levels of hunger, a kebab van is a safe and very tasty bet.

Venues and Spaces That Work Best

One of the biggest perks of hiring a kebab van in Leicester is how flexible they are with locations. Most are fully self-contained, which means they can serve food almost anywhere with decent access.

The most popular venue types include:

  • Community halls
  • Uni venues
  • Outdoor parks

Just keep in mind practical bits like access for the vehicle, space to park safely, and any local permissions needed if you’re on public land. Most suppliers will guide you through this, so you’re not left scratching your head.

What’s on the Menu?

Kebab vans in Leicester are a long way from the old one-note takeaway stereotype. Many offer a proper fusion menu inspired by South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine, with options to suit all sorts of guests.

You’ll usually see:

  • Grilled meats such as chicken, lamb, and beef
  • Kofta or spiced mince skewers
  • Falafel and halloumi for vegetarian guests
  • Fresh flatbreads or wraps
  • Salads, slaws, and pickles
  • A range of sauces from mild to fiery

Most suppliers are happy to tweak menus for dietary needs, whether that’s vegetarian, vegan, halal, or gluten-free options. If you’ve got guests with specific requirements, just flag it early and you’ll avoid awkward conversations on the day.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Kebab Van in Leicester?

Price is always one of the first questions, and rightly so. In Leicester, you can expect to pay around £10 to £15 per person for kebab van catering, depending on the menu, number of guests, and length of service.

Here’s what usually affects the price:

  • Guest numbers
  • Menu complexity
  • Service duration
  • Location and access

The good news is that most kebab vans offer clear, all-inclusive pricing, so you’re not hit with surprise fees later. And when you consider the theatre, the freshness, and the sheer guest-pleasing power of a kebab van, it’s excellent value for money.

What Makes a Great Kebab Van Experience?

Not all kebab vans are created equal. The best ones don’t just serve food, they create an experience. Here’s what we always look for when recommending suppliers.

A Truly Friendly Attitude

You get more than just a service, you get a vibe. The best suppliers bring warmth, humour, and genuine hospitality. They chat to guests, keep things moving smoothly, and make everyone feel welcome. It sounds small, but it makes a massive difference to the atmosphere of your event.

Speed Without the Stress

No one likes standing in a queue when they’re hungry. Good kebab vans are slick, organised, and fast, even when serving a big crowd. They know how to prep, portion, and plate efficiently without sacrificing quality.

Flexibility and Personal Touches

Your event is your event. Great suppliers are happy to adapt, whether that’s adjusting spice levels, offering veggie-heavy menus, or tailoring portion sizes. This flexibility helps turn a standard catering option into something that feels personal and thoughtful.

Clear Communication

From first enquiry to final clean-up, communication matters. You want to know what’s happening, when it’s happening, and who’s responsible for what. The smoother the communication, the more relaxed you’ll feel on the day.

  • Book early for peak dates
  • Be clear about guest numbers
  • Think about serving times
  • Flag dietary needs in advance

Creating a Memorable Leicester Event

Kebab vans aren’t just about feeding people. They’re about creating a moment. The smell of spices in the air, the sizzle of the grill, guests chatting while they wait for their wraps. It all adds to the atmosphere.

We specialise in extraordinary services that go beyond the typical party offerings. That means you can host a celebration that surprises your guests, reflects your style, and leaves people talking about the food long after the plates are cleared.
