MEET THE BUSES.
BORN IN NEW YORK.
MADE IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.
Our American school buses started life transporting schoolchildren in America. These days, they're serving New York-style pizza, burgers, hot dogs and American diner food at events across the UK.
We've converted these unmistakable yellow school buses into professional catering kitchens, while keeping the character that makes them stand out.
From corporate events and weddings to major festivals and film productions, they're certainly not your average catering vans.
THE BIG YELLOW ONE
Our big bus originally served the Webster School District in New York State, transporting American schoolchildren long before it found its way across the Atlantic.
At approximately 12 metres long, it's a proper full-size American school bus. The sort you'd recognise from American films and television, complete with its distinctive yellow bodywork, folding entrance doors and enormous proportions.
After its school days came to an end, it made the journey to the UK and began an entirely different career.
We've converted the interior into a commercial catering kitchen, equipped to prepare and serve our New York-style pizza, burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders and other American favourites.
It's particularly well suited to corporate events, festivals, weddings and larger celebrations where there's room for something a little out of the ordinary.

THE COMPACT BUS.
1996 GMC VANDURA · APPROX. 5 METRES · 5.7-LITRE V8
Our little bus is a 1996 GMC Vandura short school bus, powered by a 5.7-litre petrol V8.
It might be considerably smaller than the big bus, but there's nothing particularly subtle about it. With its classic American styling, distinctive yellow bodywork and old-school V8 engine, it's got plenty of character.
Originally built for transporting smaller groups of schoolchildren, it's now been converted into a compact catering kitchen.
Its shorter length makes it particularly useful for venues with limited space or tighter access, without losing the appeal of having a genuine American school bus at your event.
Today, it serves burgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders, fries and American-style breakfasts at corporate events, weddings, private parties and festivals.
