Business Details
Street Food With Soul – Award Winning Festival Bus Cafe
BusinessPlease quote reference B09405
CoGoGo proudly presents to the market Bhangra Bus Cafe Ltd, a visually striking and much-loved mobile catering business operating from a converted American school bus. Established in 2014, the business serves high-quality vegetarian and vegan Indian cuisine at major UK festivals and events.
The bus offers a rare competitive advantage - comfortable indoor seating for 20–25 customers, crafted from reclaimed wood, allowing festivalgoers to dine sheltered from the sun or rain. The business has built an excellent reputation within the festival circuit, including winning the People’s Choice Trader Award at Shambala Festival.
In recent years, the current owners have intentionally reduced trading to just two major festivals per season due to family commitments. This presents a clear growth opportunity for a new owner to significantly increase the events calendar and maximise revenue potential.
Interested parties are encouraged to get in touch with CoGoGo.
Location
The business is fully mobile and primarily operates at large-scale UK festivals, including Glastonbury and Shambala.
The registered office is located in Braintree. Pitch terms vary depending on each event agreement.
Premises
The business operates from a fully converted American school bus fitted with a commercial kitchen and bespoke reclaimed-wood seating area for 20–25 covers.
Externally eye-catching and internally atmospheric, the bus provides a rare indoor dining space within the festival environment. Storage is secured at £4,200 per annum under a rolling contract.
Tenure
We are advised that this opportunity is being sold on a business-only basis.
Hours
Operating hours are event-dependent and vary according to individual festival or pitch agreements.
The business model offers flexibility and seasonal trading control.
Staff
The business is operated by two directors, supported by up to eight freelance staff depending on event size and demand.
Financial Profile
We are advised that the business generated a turnover of £76,557.
The current figures reflect a deliberately reduced trading schedule of just two major festivals per season, presenting significant scope for increased revenue should a new owner expand the events calendar.
