Stephanie Beaudry had always wanted to work in the food industry. For years she toyed with the idea of starting up a cafe near her home in south-east London, but the overheads and business rates were expensive and the risk too high. Then, last summer, she launched Van Dough, a mobile business making pizzas with a wood-fired oven in the back of a 1970 Citroen Hy van. Beaudry now drives around London and the south-east serving up pizzas at markets, festivals and private events.
Van Dough is just one of the mobile-food businesses....
