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.

Jamie was just brilliant! Booking and communication was very good before the event. He arrived at the venue on time and set the cab up for service without any fuss. The food was delicious - we have had comments from our guests complimenting the food and the 'Black Cab'. Can't thank you enough :) Excellent food and service!

Everybody at the party commented on how delicious the food was. Martin and Emmy are lovely and the food was produced at exactly the time we'd arranged, with no one having to wait long for their meal. Couldn't recommend them more highly - we'll definitely book with them again when we have another party.

Responsive, fantastic value and delicious food. Acorn Hog Roast catered for my wedding, and they did a splendid job, many satisfied guests and they were flexible to the dietary requirements (even the more complicated ones) of everyone in attendance. My only fault would be the time it takes to serve food out to everyone, however that's part of what you're getting with having everyone que for food. Overall i'd highly recommen…
