Same day courier for hospitality
A broken oven part or a stock shortage before Saturday service can't wait until tomorrow. We collect within the hour and drive straight to your kitchen, bar or hotel.
We deliver to back doors, service yards and goods-in entrances, and call ahead so someone is ready.
What we move for hotels, restaurants and bars
- Catering equipment parts
- Glassware, crockery and cutlery
- Drinks and dry stock between venues
- Linen and uniforms
- Furniture and fittings
- Tills and IT equipment
- Menus and printed materials
- Event and wedding supplies
Chilled or frozen food needs a refrigerated vehicle, so please ask before booking.
Why hotels, restaurants and bars choose Vanguard
Before service
Tell us when you open and we'll aim to deliver before then.
