Near Atherington, a hired food truck in a field or garden suits private parties and work away days alike. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- What’s on the menu
- How many guests we are serving
- Whether you need disposables
- How many staff you need
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What you’d like on the menu
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
Where the truck can go in Atherington
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch

Atherington: parking, access and venues
Atherington is about 2 miles west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Tell us where your event in Atherington will be, and we’ll plan the journey and set-up. We serve in all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. We cater right across the region, from Atherington to Chichester (about 9 miles away).
Atherington is about 53 miles from central London, which can suit a team day out of the city with a hired food truck. After a service at a church such as Bailiffscourt Chapel, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. With the South Downs National Park within about 8 miles, a rural setting for your private or work event is within reach. Firm ground and a clear way in matter most for the truck or trailer.

Atherington: your questions answered
Could you serve our guests after a service at Bailiffscourt Chapel?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater at coastal events near Atherington?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Can we add drinks?
Our Mexican drinks bar can be added to a truck booking, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. We will check the licensing with you.
What do you serve?
Mexican street food: tacos and build-your-own taco bars, burritos, burrito bowls, nachos and quesadillas, with salsas, guacamole and toppings. We also run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas.
Do you have options for kids?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan the menu with them in mind.
Can you cater for special diets?
There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests. Allergen information is available for every dish.
Do you have vegan options?
Yes, and we plan them in from the start. Tell us your numbers when you ask for a quote.
Can you serve in the rain?
We can keep serving from the truck or trailer in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, set up the truck or trailer and get everything ready. Guests come up to order when service opens. At midsummer, it stays light in Atherington until about 9:20pm, while late September brings sunset forward to around 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, the address, a headcount and dietary needs.
- We check availability and send a menu and a quote for hiring the truck or trailer.
- Where the truck or trailer will stand, the route in, and power and water are all agreed in advance.
- On the day we drive in, set up and serve to order from the hatch.
- Once guests are fed, we clear our area and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain

Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook.
How it compares
