Falafel vans have become a bit of a secret weapon for outdoor events across the UK. They’re quick to set up, easy to serve, and guests love the bright, fresh flavours. If you’re planning anything from a festival pit stop to a one-night touring show, a falafel van gives you hot food, minimal fuss, and a menu that suits loads of dietary needs. In this guide we’ll walk you through what to look for, how to plan your setup, what you’ll likely pay, and how to book with confidence.
We’re writing from years of seeing what works on the ground, and our goal is simple: help you make a smart, swift decision and get food that goes down a treat.
Falafel is naturally crowd-friendly. It’s vegetarian by default, easy to make vegan, and works brilliantly with gluten-free and dairy-free options. It travels well in a wrap or bowl, handles queues nicely, and doesn’t require long dwell times to enjoy. That’s perfect for events where people are moving between stages, fixtures or attractions.
Typical format options:
Across the country, we see falafel vans thriving where service speed, compact menus, and flexible power are essential. They’re also a tidy fit for events with mixed dietary requirements where you don’t want to juggle separate caterers.
If your activity involves movement, multiple touchpoints, or a rolling audience, a falafel van keeps everyone fed without slowing the flow. We regularly recommend them for:
In short, if you’re feeding at pace, a falafel van is a smart pick.
Falafel vans are designed for imperfect terrain, tight windows, and wonky British weather. The most common locations we see:
Before you book, we’ll help you confirm access, turning circles, and ground conditions so the van doesn’t meet a surprise bollard on arrival.
A great falafel van keeps its menu short and sharp. That’s how queues move quickly and quality stays consistent. Look for:
Tight menus mean quicker prep and less food waste, which helps keep pricing stable. It also makes life easier when you’re replicating service across multiple locations.
Many vans run happily from a single 13A socket or their own silent generator. Ask suppliers to specify:
We’ll help you match the right setup to your site plan. The goal is safe, quiet and tidy, without eating into your production power.
It’s the UK, so yes, there’s a plan. Good falafel vans:
If your event is field-based, we’ll confirm ground protection, positioning on higher, firmer ground, and a sensible vehicle exit route should it turn into a mud ballet.
For most UK events, expect pricing in the region of £10–£14 per person for a standard falafel main with sides. Costs vary with guest count, service duration, travel, and late-night hours. Upgrades like loaded bowls, premium salads or desserts add a little. If you’re touring or running multiple dates, ask about a multi-stop rate to keep per-head costs consistent across the run.
The two questions we ask first: how many, how fast. A well-drilled falafel team can serve roughly 80 to 120 portions per hour from a single hatch. To hit higher peaks, look for:
If you’re feeding a stadium-size burst at half-time, we’ll line up two vans or set a two-queue system to protect service times.
Falafel vans are naturally strong here, but we still check the details. Ask suppliers to provide:
If you’re running a public event, we’ll make sure allergen info is both available in advance and visible on the day.
The smoothest event days start with crisp information. Here’s what we confirm as standard:
We’ll also capture the name and number of the on-the-day lead so your site manager can coordinate in real time.
You’re not just booking food, you’re booking a team. We recommend prioritising:
If you’re running a roadshow or tour, ask for a short pilot service at the first stop, then lock in the process for the remaining dates.
Keep it small, make it memorable. A couple of simple tweaks lift the experience:
These small touches mean happier queues and less decision fatigue, while still feeling personal to your event.
Falafel is already a strong choice from a sustainability angle. Push it further by asking for:
We’ll align this with your event’s waste streams so bins are clearly signed and easy to manage.
No one wants to wrestle paperwork on event day. We ensure suppliers provide:
Everything is shared ahead of time so your safety officer can sign it off early.
To help you picture it, here are common ways we set up falafel vans:
If you’re unsure which format fits, we’ll propose one based on your running order.
Use this to wrap things up neatly:
If you’re running multiple dates, we’ll store all of this in a single plan and roll it across each stop.
