Where It All Began

In 2019, I toyed with the idea of transforming an American School Bus—an idea that was put on hold due to unforeseen circumstances.

​

Jump to 2021, and I finally made the purchase—a 40-foot (12m) long school bus from the Webster School District in upstate New York through Jim at Shred & Butta.

​

It actually was quite easy to do (before the DVLA element of course ...)

​

"How did you manage to transport it?" is a question I often hear. Being too large for a container, it had to be shipped (ironically, the shipping cost exceeded that of the bus itself!) and after approximately 25 days at sea, it arrived at Southampton Docks.

​

Jim picked it up, and had his team get it ready for use in the UK which involved a few bits of work to it.

​

Several months later, after overcoming the bureaucratic hurdles with the DVLA for registration, the bus was successfully converted and ready for its intended purpose—the birth of the Pizza Bus.

​

Why pizza, you ask? Well, having previously owned a pizza restaurant, it felt like a natural progression, more so as I had a load of unused kit sat in my garage.

​

Events took off, and we found we were doing a lot of events including corporate catering all the way through to the British Grand Prix at Silverstone!

​

Fast forward to 2022, Jim called me and said "did you want another bus? I have had a customer change their mind so have one going"

 

This time, I decided to focus on serving burgers. With some meticulous planning, we managed to have it converted just in time to debut alongside the Pizza Bus at the British Formula 1 (and oh my, a lot was learnt!)

​

Following a bustling summer in 2024, I acquired a shorter bus, which thankfully can be driven with a regular car license and fits into tighter spaces—a practical addition to the fleet which is currently getting converted ready for the 2025 season.

​

The business has grown to a point where we needed somewhere to keep the stock, and do all of our prep, so we took on a unit in Brixworth in Summer 2024.  Well, Northampton was missing amazing pizza again, so I decided to take it back to our original roots from 2017, and convert upstairs into a dine in restaurant where we could host all you can eat nights, pizza parties, pizza challenges, dine in & collection and a lot more!
