Little did they know this would become their accomplishing escapade in the world of food and travel.

Cam was formally a chef, and Linda had her fair share in hospitality and travel, making them the perfect pair for this business venture. “It took a solid year for Cam and his Grandad to restore the caravan,” explained Linda. “Before we started to book weekend events between our full-time jobs, it just took off. By creating something mobile, it allowed us to have more freedom while combining the things we love, food and travel.”

The food and travel combo has continued beyond there. Roam Food Caravan serves curated street food cuisine, including their

Caravan Bar, which is fitted to the customer’s preference—influenced by the diverse flavours they have experienced during their travels. They are roaming their caravan to events, such as breweries, festivals and weddings.

“We’re not trying to be anything fancy. We simply cook food that we’d love to eat. Our menus are usually tailored to suit the occasion, whether it’s an event, brewery park up or wedding.” Despite the efforts with staff, food and supply shortages, Linda and Cam have set themselves up with flexibility and work the caravan comfortably in cohesion with their lifestyle. Rather than setting up plans to start a restaurant, they will pursue more travelling. They indulge in the easement Roam Food Caravan provides and are content with their achievements.

“We’re pretty happy with how things are going. We love the freedom that the caravan allows us to have.”
