Who We Are
Welcome to The Pink Indian — your destination for authentic Punjabi flavours on wheels, serving proper street food wherever you need us. Based in the heart of the East Midlands, we’re passionate food artisans dedicated to bringing the comfort and character of our cuisine straight to your event.
Our Mission
To introduce you to the rich, vibrant, and comforting flavours that are staples in Indian households. Each dish we serve is thoughtfully crafted using traditional recipes, many of which have been lovingly passed down through generations—so every bite transports you right to the heart of Punjab.
Experience
With over 40 years of combined experience, our lead chefs have created themed and bespoke menus at clients’ request. Highlights include turkey & sage koftah curry, a winner at Christmas parties, and the forever-popular masala fish curry using smoked haddock, cod, salmon, and king prawns in an earthy spice blend. We’ve also served up full Anglo-Indian breakfasts, including chilli omelette baps and paratha rolls—all made for that true street-food experience.

60th Birthday
It was an absolute pleasure to serve at a joint 60th Birthday & 35 Year Wedding Anniversary in Irchester.
" We had a wonderful day with our family and friends, made even more special by the outstanding service and delicious food. Our guests couldn’t stop praising the dishes, all served with warmth and a smile. The street snacks and rich curries were a big hit, and our personal favourites were the Chana Chaat, Chicken Pakora, and Butter Chicken. Thank you for helping make our celebration truly unforgettable.”
