About Gastrobus X Bosko Bus

Bantham beach goers have had the luxury of tasty refreshments from The Gastrobus for over 11 years. The offering has evolved from being a single food truck selling homemade cakes & (insert back in the day food) to having 4 individual food trucks all with their own unique offerings from ice cream, pizza, booze to burgers. As the world changes so do the needs & wants of loyal customers. After lock down it was obvious that a high majority of beach goers were craving a healthier way of life. In comes The Bosko Bus. 

Charly started her healthy food wagon in 2022 after spending years in hospitality trades in Australia where her curiosity of fermenting began & her interest in digestion & food trends from all over the world started. The bus was a family run project initially with her family jumping in to help bake, chop & even serve when necessary! The Bosko Bus model is based off fast paced, busy local events. It serves up high quality, locally sourced healthy street food to the market masses! Charly’s passion has inspired her family, a fair few hungry event goers & friends who have now become apart of her crew. It has grown leaps & bounds in less than 2 years of being in business.

When Claire from Gastrobus first visited The Bosko Bus she saw a part of herself in Charly’s enthusiasm & work ethic so she had a major brainwave to collaborate.

The collaboration of The Gastrobus & The Bosko Bus at Bantham will strive to keep beach goers delighted with a large selection of high quality, local produce with its initial passion for great food at the heart of it.

bantham

Bantham

Nestling deep in the South Hams at the mouth of the little known river Avon, Bantham beach is one of Devon’s premier beaches. Within easy driving distance of Salcombe and Kingsbridge, Bantham beach is situated in a designated AONB, it offers beautiful scenery with panoramic views over Bigbury Bay and the famous Burgh Island.

Bigbury Bay itself is a shallow sandy bay, which makes Bantham an ideal beach for swimming and paddling for all the family. Owing to the natural topography of the bay, Bantham also has a reputation as one of the best surf beaches in Devon.

At low tide the beach opens up to reveal acres of shallow sandy pools warming up quickly in the sun to create ideal play areas for toddlers. Venture over to the South end of the beach and the low tide will expose a fantastic array of rockpools below the headland.

The estuary and surrounding area are a natural haven for wildlife and enjoyed by walkers using the coastal footpaths. Bantham remains unspoilt and the beach is managed with the aim of keeping it as natural as possible.
