Local knowledge

Wood-fired catering across Cheltenham

We've served wedding pizza catering at Ellenborough Park, fired up the oven for Montpellier garden parties and kept milestone birthdays fed a stone's throw from Pittville Park. Cheltenham's Regency townhouses hide some of the best party gardens in Gloucestershire, and our compact mobile setup slips through side gates and into walled courtyards without fuss. Whether you're planning an elegant evening reception or a relaxed family gathering, the oven becomes the warm, crackling centre of it.

Race week is our busiest stretch of the year, and for good reason: corporate hosts around Cheltenham Racecourse want catering with theatre, speed and zero stress. Our team handles everything from setup to cleanup, serving fresh pizzas as fast as guests can order them. Being based on the doorstep means flexible timings, easy site visits and honest advice on numbers — from an intimate board dinner to a 300-guest marquee, we'll tell you exactly how many pizzas you need.

We booked Jacob for our 10-year wedding anniversary celebration, and he was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He made the whole process so easy and took the stress out of organising. The pizzas were delicious and a huge hit with all our guests.

Pizza van hire questions

Booking in Cheltenham

Do you cover Cheltenham for pizza catering?

Yes. We cater across Cheltenham and the surrounding area from our Gloucestershire base, within our 50-mile radius. Not sure about your postcode? Send it over and we'll confirm.

How much does pizza catering cost per person?

Our pizza catering starts from £12 per head, and can be more depending on your event — guest numbers, distance, date and service length all shape the final figure. We recommend approximately one pizza per person, though for larger events we often suggest slightly fewer as not everyone eats, some share, and some have more than one. Contact us with your event details for an accurate quote.

How does mobile pizza catering work on the day?

We arrive and set up our wood-fired oven, which takes around an hour. Once we're ready, your guests can come and order from our menu whenever they're hungry. Each pizza is made fresh to order in 90 seconds at 500°C. We handle everything food-related, including plates, napkins, sauces, and rubbish disposal.

Can you set up anywhere?

Our mobile setup is highly flexible — gardens, courtyards, marquees, car parks, fields and venue grounds are all fine. We don't need mains electricity for the oven itself. If you're unsure about access or space, send us a photo and we'll confirm.

Can you cater for dietary requirements like vegan and gluten-free?

Yes, we cater for a range of dietary requirements. We offer vegan cheese as an option on our vegetarian pizzas, and we can provide gluten-free alternatives if needed (contains mustard). Just let us know your requirements when booking and we'll make sure everyone is catered for.
