Running out of gas halfway through a busy lunchtime service or mid-way through a Cornish festival slot is the one thing every catering van operator dreads. Your entire operation depends on a consistent, reliable supply of LPG propane — and in Cornwall, where the food van and street food scene has exploded across markets, beach car parks, surf spots, festivals and events, getting your gas supply right is the difference between a great trading day and a dead one.
Gas Shack supplies commercial propane cylinders to catering vans, food trailers, mobile kitchens and street food businesses across Cornwall. We're a Calor recommended dealer based in Padstow — close to the heart of North Cornwall's food and hospitality scene — offering trade pricing, fast collection from our depot, local delivery and a cylinder exchange scheme that means you're never waiting long for a fresh cylinder when you need one.
LPG Cylinder Options for Catering Vans
All catering vans should run propane only— never butane. Propane delivers consistent pressure under heavy appliance loads and in all weather, which butane cannot. Here are the cylinder options Gas Shack supply to mobile caterers:
Cornwall's street food and mobile catering scene has grown dramatically over the past decade. From the wood-fired pizza vans at Watergate Bay to the burger vans at Fistral, the curry trailers at Boardmasters to the coffee vans at the Saturday farmers' markets in Wadebridge and Truro, mobile catering is now a serious business in this county — and it all runs on LPG propane.
Gas Shack supplies commercial propane cylinders in 19kg and 47kg sizes to catering vans, food trailers and mobile kitchens across Cornwall. We offer trade pricing for mobile caterers, a Calor cylinder exchange scheme that's designed around a mobile trading schedule, and fast collection from our Padstow depot with local delivery available across North Cornwall. Our team are qualified gas engineers — so when you have a technical question about your van's gas setup, pressure requirements or event compliance, you're getting an answer from someone who actually knows.
