Davy’s Catering is not the kind of place you stumble on while strolling the seafront - it is a breakfast and burger van tucked into the B&Q car park at 500 Wallisdown Road, on the inland border between Bournemouth and Poole. It exists to feed the trade estate rather than the tourist trail: builders picking up supplies, commuters cutting through Fleets Bridge, and staff from the industrial units and offices that line this stretch of road near Bournemouth University’s Talbot campus.
The food
The menu is short and built around classic van staples: bacon rolls, sausage rolls, egg rolls and breakfast baps, plus burgers once the morning trade tails off. Reported pricing puts most items in the roughly £3-£10 range, in keeping with a walk-up van rather than a plated restaurant. There is no formal menu published on this listing - items and prices can change day to day, so treat any figures here as a guide rather than a promise.
The setting
There is no indoor seating - this is a serving hatch on wheels, with outdoor seating nearby for anyone who wants to eat on site rather than take the food back to a car or a desk. The B&Q car park setting means plenty of parking, and the location on Wallisdown Road puts it within easy reach of the surrounding Talbot Village, Ensbury Park and West Howe areas, as well as the retail and industrial units that back onto the road, including the Procter & Gamble site further along.
Where it is
Wallisdown Road runs between Boundary Roundabout, next to Bournemouth University, and the Ringwood Road junction toward Poole, making it one of the busiest connector roads on this side of town. Davy’s sits at the Fleets Bridge end of that stretch, closer to Poole than to the seafront - this is very much a stop for people already in the area rather than a destination in its own right for holidaymakers based near the beaches.
Good to know
The van is run by an operator known locally as Dave, and it has built a reputation for friendly, quick service - including giving dogs a complimentary sausage, which regulars mention. Reported hours are Monday to Thursday 7am until 1.30pm, Friday 7am until midday and Saturday 8am until midday, with the van closed on Sundays; hours for a small independent operation like this can shift with the seasons or the operator’s own schedule, so it is worth a quick check before making a special trip. A food hygiene inspection recorded the premises as “Caring Premises” in June 2025.
