Chinnor Rugby Club has its very own gourmet street food shipping container!

Nestled within the grounds of Chinnor Rugby Club in Thame, Oxfordshire, The Filthy Moustache UK has quickly become a culinary highlight for both club members and visitors. Specializing in gourmet burgers and hotdogs, this unique catering unit offers a delectable dining experience that complements the vibrant atmosphere of the rugby club.

What is ‘The Filthy Moustache’?
The Filthy Moustache originated in South Africa, where it has a well established reputation as a top-tier street food vendor. The name reflects the brand’s fun and edgy identity. It suggests a dining experience that’s super indulgent and very memorable. The term filthy refers to the messy but delicious nature of their cuisine, while the word moustache adds a quirky fun touch. Let’s be honest, we all have an uncle, grandad or have known someone in the past who got food on their moustache when they ate a meal — especially after a few drinks 😉
About the Gourmet Catering Container
In their expansion to the UK, the team behind The Filthy Moustache chose to house their operations in a converted shipping container at Chinnor Rugby Club. This decision aligns with a growing trend in the culinary world, where shipping containers are repurposed into modern, industrial-style eateries. The choice of a shipping container not only provides a durable and flexible space but also complements the brand’s street food origins and contemporary aesthetic, not to mention the environmental benefits.
While specific details about who spearheaded the decision to use a converted shipping container and the exact costs involved are not publicly disclosed, it’s evident that the choice was strategic. Utilizing a shipping container allows for mobility, cost-effectiveness, and a unique visual appeal that sets The Filthy Moustache apart from traditional catering units.
