About our food truck hire in Birdham
The truck or trailer is a working kitchen on wheels, so your venue does not need a kitchen. We need a level spot, safe access and the venue’s permission. It works well for company away days and leaving dos and retirements, serving burritos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos.
Somewhere as small as Birdham, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Firm ground matters, especially after rain. We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Food truck hire or something else?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, plus any add-ons and the location. Every event gets its own quote.

Your questions about food truck hire in Birdham
Can you serve near the sea around Birdham?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades generally need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Birdham?
Yes, depending on the date. For a private or work event in a village or hamlet, the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
What space does the truck need?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
How does private food truck hire work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. It’s a private booking for your guests only.
Do you have dairy-free options?
Yes. Dairy-free options are part of our menus.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, so the price fits what you want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

Birdham: parking, access and venues
Birdham is about 4 miles south-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. We cater events at gardens, halls and venues around Birdham. Birdham is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover.
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Fishbourne station, about 3.3 miles north. If you’re celebrating after a ceremony at a church like St James' Church, our food truck or trailer can be waiting at the reception spot. A private event by the sea is within reach, as Birdham is within about 5 miles of the coast. Promenades and beaches usually need the council’s agreement for a catering vehicle.
We serve at events all over PO20 and the streets around it. That could mean an event at a home with a drive on Old Common Close, Main Road and Walwyn Close.

What food truck hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, parking and access
- Your choice of food and drinks
- Guest numbers
- Plates, napkins and cutlery
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- The date and rough timings
- Your menu ideas
- Roughly how many adults and children
To get a price, just tell us about it on our contact page. Tell us about your event in Birdham, and we will suggest a menu to suit.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Other catering in Birdham
How the day works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a picture of the space if you’re unsure. December events in Birdham lose the light at about 4:00pm, so ask the venue about outdoor lighting where we will park. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Tell us what power and water the site has
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. To send your details, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
