Exciting news for Caerphilly! A new food and drink van might soon be serving up tasty treats at the beautiful nature spot on the edge of town. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has put forward a plan to bring this fresh experience to visitors at the Van Road Forestry car park, near the Van Road Trails.


This venture isn’t just about satisfying your hunger pangs; it’s also about promoting green solutions. Any business taking up the spot will need to show off their eco-friendly credentials—no external power generators here! NRW is all about encouraging sustainability, so this could be a great opportunity for a local business to shine.

If given the go-ahead, this could mean more jobs and a buzzing new spot for locals and tourists alike. Operating hours are expected to be from 9am to 5pm daily—perfect timing to grab some lunch or a quick snack during your woodland wander.
Feeling curious? Check out the full proposal on Caerphilly County Borough Council’s website with the reference number 25/0545/FULL. The public consultation is underway, so now’s your chance to have a say!
