Planning an event in Somerset often involves finding the right balance between the county’s natural beauty and the practicalities of feeding a crowd. Whether you are hosting a wedding with views of Glastonbury Tor, a corporate gathering in the historic city of Bath, or a celebration near the rugged cliffs of Cheddar Gorge, the quality of your food should match the setting.

At Bears Street Food, we provide Somerset street food van hire, bringing a professional, chef-led kitchen directly to your location.

Rather than settling for a standard cold buffet, choosing a mobile setup creates a social focal point. There is an energy to a live kitchen that encourages guests to mingle, making it an ideal choice for the relaxed, outdoor atmosphere Somerset is known for.

 

Why Choose for Street Food Catering in Somerset?

Traditional event catering can often feel restricted by the venue’s facilities. With street food catering, we turn almost any space into a high-functioning kitchen. This flexibility is particularly useful for event catering in remote areas like the Quantock Hills or for private parties in rural gardens where indoor kitchen access might be limited.

Professional Solutions for Large-Scale Events

  • Corporate Events Catering: Boost team morale with something better than a standard office lunch. We bring corporate events catering to your business premises in Taunton or Yeovil, offering a hot, fresh alternative that your team will actually look forward to.
  • Festival Catering: We are built for high-volume service. Whether it’s a local food fair or a large-scale music event, we keep the lines moving without ever sacrificing the standard of our ingredients.
  • TV & Film Catering: Somerset’s diverse landscapes are a frequent choice for production crews. We provide reliable TV & Film catering that works around punishing filming schedules, ensuring cast and crew are well-fed on-site.

 

What’s on the Menu: Authentic Food

We keep our menus focused on quality ingredients and bold flavours that travel well and taste incredible. Our signature Big Bear Burger features a 6oz Aberdeen Angus beef patty topped with melted cheese, onions, and mushrooms. For those who prefer white meat, our Tuscan Chicken consists of sliced chicken breast in a rich, creamy mascarpone and Tuscan sauce, finished with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil.

Other crowd favourites include our slow-cooked Pulled Pork, prepared with Bear’s own recipe BBQ sauce and served in a fresh ciabatta or baguette, and marinated Pork Steaks served with onions and mushrooms. For our vegetarian guests, we serve a Halloumi Burger grilled with peppers and a hit of sweet chilli sauce.

If none of these quite fit your specific vision, Bears can also create a bespoke menu specifically tailored to your dietary requirements or event’s theme.

“The quality of food that bears provides is to a high-quality standard and to add the most delicious food you’ll taste. Staff are so polite and helpful. My favourite dish on the bears street food is the cheeseburger topped with onions. Would highly recommend this company for a top-quality service, you won’t be disappointed.” – Jane Bambrough

We know that a perfect venue might be down a narrow lane or in a remote field. Our units are entirely self-sufficient, bringing their own power and water to your location.
