Each food van caterer has a unique menu, but they all typically offer a side dish in addition to the main dish with a simple topping. Additionally, other types of toppings can be served.

What are the technical requirements to hire a food van for a party?

One of the requirements is the space needed. When preparing to hire a food van for your party, a 3m x 3m space will be considered, and somewhere to store the van, if possible next to the gazebo. Also, there is a need for an electricity supply. The electricity requirements are 2 x chip pans for the service and will require the main power source. An extension lead is not needed. The ideal time for setting up the van and cooking is about an hour.

Ian and Tom from Pizza Heaven were a great team who provided the perfect party fodder for a bunch of hungry teens and grown ups too! Their pizzas were delicious with a good selection of toppings. They made sure that everyone had been fed and even accommodated the odd vegan -nothing was too much trouble. And they tidied up beautifully and left without a trace!! I’d definitely use them again- they were fab!
