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.

Piero was incredible, there is not one thing we could fault from the whole service. Everyone said how incredible the pizza was and Piero worked tirelessly to keep everyone happy and fed! Piero also accommodated to everyone’s dietary requirements. Piero was also very responsive to any questions we had prior and the service he delivered was second to none. We just hope Piero is available at our anniversary parties 🎉

I used Guasa for my 40th birthday celebration in my garden and they were absolutely brilliant. The food was delicious and Diego was really helpful. I would use them again without hesitation and recommend them to anyone looking for a catering solution.
