Pizza Van Hire in Bristol

StrEat Pizza provide hand stretched, artisan wood-fired pizzas throughout Bristol and beyond. Using only locally sourced ingredients and cooked using a modern, lightweight wood-fired pizza oven installed in a purpose-built caravan, the pizzas are made according to traditional recipes. All of the wood is ecologically responsible and locally sourced too, so diners are helping their local community with each bite.

What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

For us to provide a comprehensive quote to a customer, ideally we need the event date, a brief explanation of the type of event they are hosting, the estimated number of guests, and potential venue, and whether it's an indoor or outdoor event. From this, we can use our experience and expertise to put together a suitable quote with prices and menu options.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Firstly ask about the product they are offering - do they specialise in certain products? We specialise in wood-fired pizzas and use the best ingredients and equipment to produce the best pizza possible. Also, ask about the equipment - we have a professionally converted caravan that looks stunning with a modern lightweight wood fired pizza oven installed in the caravan, not some homemade oven on the back of a trailer. Ask for a link to their food hygiene rating. Everyone should have one. You should pay close attention to this - you don't want a poorly rated caterer with poor hygiene standards catering for your special day.
Finally, ask if the provider is a member of any relevant professional association. We are members of NCASS national catering association, as members you can be assured that we have all the relevant, up to date health & safety, insurance and food hygiene training, as well as diligence systems in place.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

StrEat pizza was born out of love for good fresh handmade pizza. I have spent the last 30 years working as a chef in some of the country's top restaurants. My last position before setting up StrEat pizzas was Group Executive Head Chef for a small chain of Italian restaurants. That's where my love affair with hand made pizza began, all I wanted to do was take the best restaurant style pizzas out of the restaurant and onto the streets and fields of Britain.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

Add to Event has been great at putting us on the map. We've been very happy with the quality and quantity of booking through Add to Event. Our very first booking was a 40th birthday party for 50 people. We had to negotiate our lovely caravan through a tiny twisty back ally in Bristol to set up by the back garden. The party was a great success, everyone loved the originality of having an amazing mobile pizzeria in the back garden. We would definitely recommend Add To Event to everyone.
