EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from December 1948, we are transported back in time to witness the charm and dedication of H G Tunks & Sons Mobile Catering Van. Standing proudly beside their van, a man and woman dressed in crisp white overalls exude a sense of professionalism and passion for their craft. The scene is bustling with activity as contemporary cars line the right side, while on the left, we catch a glimpse of a pre-war "woodie" shooting brake, possibly a Rolls Royce. The image captures an era when mobile catering was still in its infancy but already making waves. It speaks volumes about the entrepreneurial spirit that drove individuals like these two to take their culinary delights on the road. Their van serves as both canteen and counter, offering delicious treats to eager customers who undoubtedly appreciated the convenience it provided. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers us a rare glimpse into history. It showcases not only the evolution of transportation but also highlights how food has always had an incredible power to bring people together. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let's appreciate those who paved the way for modern-day food trucks and acknowledge their contribution to our culinary landscape.
