The van has recently been upgraded and repaired after a series of mechanical issues and is on the road after a three-week hiatus.

Mr Platt, who set the business up in June with his wife Jo, says he sold out within hours last time he visited the location near Haverhill.

He said: "It was absolutely phenomenal, we couldn't have asked for a better night. We opened at 5pm and were greeted by queues of people. We sold out of literally everything by 7pm."

The business offers a range of smothered potato dishes, all completely gluten-free, including chicken tikka masala fries, cheeseburger fries, Mexican fries, and vegan Korean fries with kimchi and green chilli mayo.
