Hawkes House are proud to announce we have acquired a street trading licence to run a "grab & go" service from Thornbury High Street.
The House Family Van, nicknamed Piccola, is a converted Piaggio Apé serving hot and ice cold drinks, cakes, snacks and super salads.
It's all served in compostable packaging to take on the go or sit in our seating area on the High Street to watch the world go by.
We've been trading for a couple of weeks now and have loved being a part of the bustling revived High Street hospitality scene.
Whenever the sun shines, we will be there from just after 9am to just before 3pm, 7 days a week.
Every school holiday we run a 'kids eat for a quid' offer, to ensure that no child goes hungry over the holidays.
We have extended this offer to the van and will have a daily choice of a small meal for just £1 with no other purchase necessary.
We hope to reach 500+ children with this offer before the summer is out.

Thornbury Chamber of Commerce has created Thornbury Vouchers, ideal for family and friends.
These vouchers can be used in any Chamber member business and can be bought in Horders or Safari Rock Café.
The vouchers are also perfect as promotional gifts, raffle prizes and for companies to offer as presents for employees.
If you have vouchers spent in your business, just contact the secretary and to arrange to be reimbursed for the vouchers.
Thornbury Chamber have six gazebos, which can be lent out if you are running an event or need one to provide outside shelter for customers. We have weights and 2 sides per gazebo.
If you would like to borrow one or more please contact the secretary to arrange pick up and drop off.
It is testament to the fact that the Thornbury Chamber of Commerce is a long established organisation that one of its founder members, Mr Dick Shipp, could only give a rough date to its first meeting being somewhere between the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Originally meetings were held in the Church Institute building, and then around the town on a rota basis, as now.
This gives members the chance to sample different conference facilities in and around Thornbury and the hosting members the opportunity to promote their business.
Meetings allow members an opportunity to discuss and influence the direction of business in Thornbury.
So, take the time to get involved and join the Thornbury Chamber of Commerce - it's part of Thornbury's history.
Special thanks to Mr D Shipp for his kind assistance
