About our food truck hire in Boxgrove
You could pick fillings such as chicken tinga, carnitas or beef birria, with vegan choices like black bean and sweet potato. We plan for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free diets. It works well for weddings and family reunions, with burritos, quesadillas and burrito bowls.
For a rural spot like Boxgrove, food truck hire needs a little planning: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. Power and water may be limited, so we confirm the arrangements before the day. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.

How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. A Christmas party in Boxgrove with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- 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.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Ask the venue about power and water
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, your venue or PO18 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.

Food truck hire or something else?
A DIY barbecue keeps a host at the grill. Hire the truck and the cooking is ours so you can join in. Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.

See how we price and our guide to catering costs.
Should I do it myself?
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.

Hiring a food truck in Boxgrove
Boxgrove is about 3 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Boxgrove and nearby villages. Boxgrove is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we can bring food truck hire.
Close to Boxgrove are historic houses such as Goodwood House (1.5 miles north-west) and West Dean House (4.3 miles north-west). If you are hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. Colleagues or friends without a car may like to know that Chichester station is about 3.5 miles away. The coast is within about 6 miles of Boxgrove, so a hired food truck at a seaside venue is an option. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots usually need permission.

Local streets include The Street, Priory Close and Kirkby Close; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. We also serve at events in Halnaker (1 mile north), Tangmere (1 mile south), Strettington (1 mile west), Waterbeach (1 mile north-west) and Westerton (1 mile west).

We drive in at the agreed time and park in the planned spot. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Nachos for sharing at the start are a good way to begin.

Other catering in Boxgrove
Boxgrove: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Can you serve near the sea around Boxgrove?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
Do you bring plates and cutlery?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll confirm what’s included with your quote.
How much is a food truck for an event?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Can you keep it mild?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
