Really nice authentic Greek food served from a van. Good value for money and healthy sized portions. The Chicken Portion Box (pictured) is my fave so far. Seating area just next door to the van/kitchen.

This was honestly the best gyro I have ever tasted. The inside was packed with filling and the tzatziki sauce was beautiful. I’ve had the chicken gyro and pork gyro, I personally preferred the pork but they were both delicious! I met an absolutely wonderful man the first time I went and a lovely woman the next! I Highly recommend this place!!

Absolutely scrumptious Gyro’s, I got myself 1 chicken & 1 pork. Perfectly tasty in every way, pork was my favourite out of the 2, but both very healthy and tasty, I ate one straight away, then ordered another pork to take home, so 3 of them in 1 day, excellent value for money. I will definitely be eating here again without a doubt. Bravo my friend keep up the outstanding service you provide & I hope that new van is not long for you getting
