I made the decision to a complete change in career from financial services to the mobile catering industry in early 2025. I had no experience in the industry so every turn was new to me. Having bought my van I set about finding a company who would do my conversion. This was a daunting decision as I know there are a lot a horror stories out there. I spoke with a few companies and all of them paid little attention to my budget and came in much higher than the budget I gave them. I spoke to Jay at Bespoke Catering Vehicles. Jay gave me hours of his time before any agreement was made. Headvised me on where I was going wrong, he advised on how I could get this project within my budget. Jay cameback with a cost and design that met both my budget and my needs. Jay and Phil have been brilliant throughout the process and kept me updated on the progress of the project. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We will be working together again in the future when my next van will need converting. Thanks for helping me making my dream come true chaps. Many thanks.

Jay and Phil done such a great job, we were up and running in two weeks. We also decided to add a bar area to the back of the horse box, it’s added so much more space, they finished the wood with a burnt finish. This was decided very lastminute, but they pulled out all the stops to get it done.We couldn’t be happier, so much so, we’re going back with another trailer very soon.!

Based on the outskirts of Peterborough, Antonino Pizza had long been a local favourite, known for its hand-stretched, stone-baked pizzas and authentic Italian flavours. After joining delivery platforms like Just Eat and Uber Eats, Antonino noticed a growing demand well beyond his immediate delivery radius. However, the limits of a fixed restaurant meant he couldn’t fully serve this expanding customer base.

The Challenge

Antonino wanted to take his pizzas to where the demand was — local events, business parks, and rural communities that couldn’t easily access his restaurant. The goal was clear: create a mobile catering vehicle that captured the same authenticity, quality, and visual appeal of his pizzeria, while allowing him to expand his reach and brand presence without the cost of opening another premises.

Our Solution

Working closely with Antonino, the Bespoke Catering Vehicles team developed a custom-built mobile pizza van designed to mirror his restaurant’s identity and deliver the same mouth-watering results on the move.

We sourced a specialist stone-baked pizza oven that recreated the authentic taste and cooking style of his original kitchen.
The van layout was designed for high efficiency, with smart prep and service areas to handle busy event volumes.
The external branding carried Antonino’s restaurant colours and logos, ensuring instant recognition wherever the van travelled.

The end result was a professional, road-ready mobile unit that looked as good as the pizzas tasted — built to draw crowds and generate revenue fast.

Deployment & Growth

Once the van hit the road, Antonino saw instant results. Through clever use of social media, he began posting his daily locations and event appearances, driving followers to meet him in new areas. The mobility of the van allowed Antonino Pizza to serve industrial estates, business parks, and weekend festivals, opening access to an entirely new customer base.

Before long, Antonino was also receiving bookings for private and corporate events. One particularly successful partnership was formed with a local wet pub — a venue without its own kitchen. By parking the van in the pub car park, Antonino provided fresh pizzas for customers who could then enjoy them inside with a pint. This collaboration created a new local favourite: “Pizza and Beer Night”, significantly boosting trade for both businesses.

Results & ROI

Over nearly two years of operation, Antonino’s mobile pizza van has delivered a strong return on investment, proving how the right vehicle and the right locations can transform a small business.

Expanded reach beyond the restaurant’s catchment area.
New daytime revenue stream serving workers on industrial estates.
Partnership opportunities with local pubs and events.
Increased restaurant visibility thanks to branded vehicle presence and social promotion.

Antonino has no plans to return to brick-and-mortar expansion — the mobile model has shown greater flexibility, profitability, and exposure. The van continues to promote both his restaurant and his brand on the road every day.

Takeaway

Antonino’s story shows the power of mobility in the catering world. With the right vehicle design, quality equipment, and strategic locations, a mobile catering van can generate outstanding ROI, reach untapped audiences, and strengthen your brand presence — all without the overheads of another premises.

A leading UK-based private school approached Bespoke Catering Vehicles looking for a creative way to extend their catering services while strengthening engagement with students, parents, and the wider community. The school’s catering division wanted to generate additional income without the costs and staffing requirements of opening the main canteen during off-peak times.

The Challenge

The school faced several logistical challenges:

The main canteen required full staffing and cleaning even during short breaks or small events.
The catering team wanted to serve paninis, hot drinks, and light snacks throughout the day without interrupting school operations.
Leadership also saw an opportunity to use catering as a community outreach and fundraising tool, but needed a flexible solution that could move between the school grounds and local events.

The goal was clear — create a mobile catering unit that could serve both the school and the local community, providing convenience, income, and visibility without major disruption or investment in permanent facilities.

Our Solution

After a detailed consultation, we recommended an American-style Airstream catering trailer — a timeless design known for its distinctive stainless steel finish and visual impact. The trailer format offered:

Mobility and flexibility, allowing the school to position it at high-traffic areas such as courtyards, sports fields, or entrances.
Compact efficiency, serving hot drinks, paninis, and snacks without requiring access to the main kitchen.
Instant visual appeal, with a polished exterior that stood out on its own, meaning no external wraps or heavy branding were needed.

Inside, we designed a fully functional catering layout including:

Professional-grade coffee machines and panini presses.
Streamlined worktops and storage for fast-paced service.
Easy maintenance systems for day-to-day school use.

The end result was a modern, self-contained catering solution — practical, profitable, and perfectly aligned with the school’s identity.

Deployment & Impact

Once installed, the Airstream quickly became part of everyday school life. Positioned strategically in high-footfall areas, it encouraged students to grab a coffee or snack during breaks without needing to open the full canteen.

The benefits were immediate:

Reduced staff hours and cleaning requirements.
Streamlined logistics, freeing the main dining hall for meetings, assemblies, or other activities.
Improved accessibility for students, staff, and visitors during outdoor events.

The trailer has since become a versatile asset — serving at PTA meetings, sports days, and open days, and even being taken off-site for fundraising and community events. The school catering team can now generate revenue year-round, while also strengthening relationships within the local community.

Results & ROI

The Airstream trailer has proven to be an exceptional investment, delivering multiple returns across efficiency, visibility, and engagement:

Additional income stream for the catering division.
Operational savings from reduced canteen staffing and cleaning.
Increased brand presence through community outreach.
Flexible use across both internal and external events.

By investing in a bespoke catering vehicle rather than expanding brick-and-mortar facilities, the school achieved a cost-effective, sustainable solution that enhances both their reputation and their bottom line.

Takeaway

This project demonstrates how a custom-built catering trailer can create real value beyond food service. With the right concept and execution, schools, colleges, and institutions can leverage mobile catering units to improve logistics, generate revenue, and build stronger community connections — all while showcasing innovation and style.
