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.
Wedding pizza catering in Cheltenham
We have served weddings at Ellenborough Park and in marquees and walled gardens across town. Most couples run pizza o'clock around 8pm, after the first dance, and we arrive about an hour before to set up quietly. The honest advice you will get from us: book slightly fewer pizzas than guests, as not everyone eats, and we will bring extras just in case.
Corporate and office pizza catering in Cheltenham
Offices get the same fresh-from-the-flames service with the admin handled properly: proper invoices with PO numbers, tight lunch windows respected, and named-box pre-orders so every colleague collects exactly what they ordered. One corporate client kept us on site every week for nine straight weeks and reviewed us on Google as reliable and consistent throughout. Team lunch or summer party for hundreds, volume is not an issue.
Pizza van hire in Cheltenham for parties
Birthdays, hen parties and garden gatherings are our bread and butter. The setup is a compact 3 by 3 metre gazebo, and we need a flat space of at least 3m by 4m, plus room for the van; beyond that it is fully self-sufficient, so no power and no water needed. Guests order whenever they are hungry, and we can serve up to 100 pizzas an hour so the queue keeps moving.

“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.”
“Jacob did a fantastic job in cooking the most delicious pizzas for my husband's 50th. He was great fun as well as cooking the most delicious pizzas!”
“Jacob catered for a private party of twenty five and everyone loved the pizzas! He was so easy to liaise with before, after and during our party. Definitely the way to cater for large numbers as completely hassle free and good value.”

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 in Cheltenham?
Our pizza catering starts from £12 per head plus VAT, 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, and each pizza is made fresh to order. We handle everything food-related, including plates, napkins, sauces, and rubbish disposal.
Can you set up anywhere?
We're an outdoor set-up only. Our mobile setup is highly flexible — gardens, courtyards, car parks, fields and venue grounds are all fine (next to a marquee is fine too). 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 have gluten-free alternative bases with notice (contains mustard). Just let us know your requirements when booking and we'll make sure everyone is catered for.
