So obviously there's the mobile library, youth bus, the chip van (Starchip Enterprise is one locally) and so on, but recently I've seen a mobile barbers van which parks up in different villages and theres a soft play double decker which has started.
Anything else around? I love the idea that people are taking themselves to the villages and getting round the problems with transport

Did all here, I wish we did have some though! A mobile library used to come but doesn't anymore, we have a phone box library instead now.

Pizza oven once a week

The pizza oven is impressive - how long does it take to start working? Theres one in a morris minor that you see at events locally, but it takes forever to serve a queue

We have a pizza can (wood fired oven in the back of a long wheelbase transit type van) and a fish n chip van (the Cornish Codfather!), but our village is quite well served with a shop, pub, deli, tapas restaurant etc. I do know there are other mobile services e.g. Hairdresser and the usual but no exotic niches, afaik. I'll take a look on the notice board and let you know of any!

Fish monger van!

puckingfixies · 15/06/2017 00:37

Bread agent/baker, a mobile dog groomer and a fishmonger.

Dozyoldtwonk · 15/06/2017 00:39

We have a dessert van, which visits the surrounding villages/small towns Grin

Love the idea of mobile soft play surely anythings better than the warehouse spaces of hell

Hang on a minute, a pizza van Hmm Are we talking homeshires, artisan, 2nd home, perfect roads and chocolate box rural here?

Because in the dirty North, couple of farms and the faint possibility of a half decent pub rural we get. Erm nothing!

Ok you can get your paper delivered and possibly some milk. There is a fish man and a Kleeneeze person than comes once a year for some Christmas brass but that's it!

Pizza VW van pah
