As the days are getting shorter and colder what better time to start a mobile catering business from a van or trailer. Setting up a mobile hot food business is a great idea especially over the Autumn and winter period. What better way to warm the soul with a mug of tea or coffee and a bacon sandwich? I’ve noticed that the street food boom is now finding a growth in market caterers. Recently I visited The Shambles market in York a great atmosphere and such a diversity of street food. Greek, Indian, Chinese. Forgive me for showing favoritism but the Greek was something special, but that’s just me! But I’ve yet to see a Greek food van.

Along with the food style you must consider where to place your catering unit. On a busy thorough fare with lots of foot traffic. In a lay by on an A road heading toward the motorway? Just things to consider to make your business thrive.

Also worth considering is your insurance for your unit. Vehicles are easier to get there with and the choice of vehicles is endless. Ford Transits, the backbone of England as the tv add went or there’s the Mercedes Sprinter vans. Or the Citroen H vans but to be honest these vintage vans are most likely to be seen eye catching at shows or events across the UK.

Another consideration for your business plan is insurance. Insurance for your van and your business too.

Both these types of insurance don’t have to be difficult to arranged or expensive. Catering van insurance from us is based on the type of business you run. For ease we just need to know if you run a hot food van, an ice cream van or say a jiffy truck and we can look at the cost of the vehicle’s insurance. We don’t necessarily need to know if it’s a Transit, Citroen or Mega, it’s the use we need to know.

A big plus is also that as long as you have a no claims bonus on a private car or another vehicle, we can mirror that no claims onto the catering van. Also, by keeping the number of drivers down rather than having a policy that covers any driver as that helps to. Whilst on the subject of ‘Any Driver’ insurance cover, it is worth noting that many insurance policies come with the proviso that some policing of your policy is necessary. I many cases drivers must have held a full UK driving license for a given number of years. Drivers with convictions or claims may not be automatically allowed to drive your vehicle either. So, if such a driver is required to covered to drive your vehicle check with your us before allowing them to drive.
