Street Food Van Recommendation Required

[PollyG]

We are hosting a party in the summer for about 60 people and would like hire a street food van, ideally serving south east Asian cuisine but open to other suggestions, does anyone have any good recommendations? Alternatively, any suggestions of a catering company that could set up in our garden/ on our drive/ ie operate outside our house!

A bit late in the day but we used Koi Ramen (they have a permanent base at Pop Brixton) for a party last week and they were brilliant. They operate a Sunday stall on Brick Lane so have all the kit to set up in a garden or driveway. We had gyoza and Japanese skewers to start with - served on platters like canap?s - followed by their utterly delicious ramen. The noodles are served in cardboard pots with either chopsticks or forks so easy to eat standing up. It was also a big hit with the children (age range from 3 to 13). Very professional, friendly and genuinely wonderful food.

Hi Polly

Do you mind if I ask which Street Food van you chose in the end please? Looking for something similar this January

What about the viet van people on north cross rd market - I know they do events.

Hi Yoshomi we used Margosa Dining in the end and set them up in our back garden although I'm sure they could also base themselves on your drive/elsewhere if that's what you wanted. They make super delicious Sri Lankan food and I would 100% recommend them. They can be contacted through their facebook page. If you wanted a van specifically we also liked Nosh's food who go to the Crystal Palace food market. Good luck!

Thanks Tiddles and PollyG - sounds like I'm going to have to do some serious taste testing. It's a tough job but someone's got to do it.
