Cambridgeshire is a county of fascinating contrasts. From the world-renowned historic architecture of Cambridge University to the cutting-edge tech hubs of the “Silicon Fen” and the tranquil, expansive landscapes of the Fens, it is a region that demands excellence. When you are planning an event here, whether it’s a high-stakes corporate launch in a science park or a rustic wedding in a refurbished barn near Ely, the catering needs to be as impressive as the setting. At Bears Street Food, we offer professional street food van hire throughout Cambridgeshire, bringing a fresh, modern and highly flexible culinary solution to your doorstep.
The traditional approach to event catering is changing. Organisers across Cambridgeshire are increasingly looking for ways to break away from the “standard” buffet or formal sit-down meal. They want food that is prepared with care, served with a bit of theatre and adaptable to almost any environment. That is exactly what we provide: a self-sufficient, high-quality mobile kitchen that brings the heat wherever it’s needed.
A Fresh Perspective on Wedding Catering and Private Celebrations
Cambridgeshire is home to some of the most stunning wedding venues in the UK, from the grand colleges of the city centre to the hidden gems in villages like Grantchester and Kimbolton. For many couples, street food event catering has become the go-to choice for a relaxed, social atmosphere. It’s about creating a focal point where guests can gather, watch their food being prepared and enjoy a meal that feels authentic and personal.
Why Choose Street Food for Your Milestone?
Choosing a street food setup for your wedding or private function removes the logistical stress of a traditional kitchen.
- Live Cooking Theatre: Our “Bear’s Fired Pizzas” are cooked in authentic wood-fired ovens, making thin, crispy pizzas in front of your guests’ eyes. It’s fast, it’s hot, and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for evening receptions.
- The “Bear Grills” Experience: For those who want something substantial, our flame-grilled burger and hot dog units offer a premium BBQ experience that sets a new standard for party food.
- Inclusive and Accessible: We understand that modern guest lists have varied requirements. Our menus include high-quality vegetarian and vegan options as standard, ensuring that every guest leaves the event feeling satisfied, regardless of their dietary preferences.
Professional Corporate Events Catering for the Silicon Fen
As one of the UK’s leading hubs for technology and research, Cambridgeshire’s business community expects efficiency and professionalism. Our corporate events catering service is designed to meet these high standards. Whether you are hosting a team-building day in Peterborough, a staff appreciation lunch in a Cambridge science park, or a large-scale product launch, we provide the logistics to support you.
Total Self-Sufficiency for Business Success
One of the biggest advantages of our street food van hire is our independence. We don’t need to plug into your office’s power or take up space in your staff canteen. We arrive with our own power and water, set up in your car park or courtyard, and serve high-quality meals with minimal disruption to your working day.
We’ve handled everything from intimate executive lunches to large-scale industrial site celebrations, proving that we can scale our service to meet the specific demands of the Cambridgeshire business sector. It’s a fantastic way to boost staff morale and encourage a more social, collaborative atmosphere.
Testimonial: “I have used Bears for our last 5 company events, and they’re amazing. We have tried 5 different options from their menu, and will continue to try more. Lee is always prompt at replying to my emails. The food and service are simply fantastic. Thanks Bears from all at Granada.” – Hayley Duncum
High-Volume Festival Catering and Specialised TV & Film Catering
Cambridgeshire’s calendar is packed with community festivals, music events, and agricultural shows. We thrive in these high-pressure environments. Our background in festival catering means we are built for speed without ever sacrificing food quality. We are used to serving large volumes of hungry people in a short window, making us a reliable partner for event organisers across the county.
Expert Support for Production Crews
The historic streets of Cambridge and the unique landscapes of the Fens are frequent locations for major film and television productions. Our TV & Film catering service is built on the expertise required to feed crews on the move. We understand the unique pressures of a set: early starts, late finishes, and the need for hot, nutritious food that keeps the energy high for the cast and crew. Our mobile “Kitchens on Wheels” can be easily relocated as production moves from one location to another.
Transparent Pricing and Exceptional Value
We believe that professional catering should be straightforward and transparent. We don’t believe in hiding costs; instead, we offer a clear value structure for all our Cambridgeshire clients:
- Price Per Person: For many events, our pricing starts at as little as £8.95.
- Minimum Charge for Smaller Events: For intimate private functions or smaller corporate gatherings of 50 people or less, a minimum charge of £695 applies.
This ensures you receive the full “Bear” experience, regardless of your guest list size.

Choosing street food van hire is about more than just a meal; it’s about choosing a partner you can trust to deliver. We buy fresh, cook fresh and serve fresh. From the initial enquiry to the final tidy-up, we handle the details so you can focus on being a host.
