Food truck hire in Chichester: local tips
Chichester is about 27 miles east of Southampton, in West Sussex. Whether your event is in the middle of Chichester or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: a truck or trailer at your event, options for every diet and a clear price. We serve in 371 places across West Sussex, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Being close to the A27 and A259 makes Chichester an easy run for the truck. Around Chichester, historic houses include Goodwood House (2.7 miles north-east) and West Dean House (4.6 miles north). Historic houses and estates generally have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before booking.
Food truck hire in PO19, PO20, PO18 and PO10 is planned around your venue and access and your guests. Local streets include St Martin's Square, Market Road and Old Market Avenue; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. With the A27 and A259 close by, Chichester is simple for us to get to for your event. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Portfield (1 mile east), Westhampnett (1 mile north-east), Shopwyke (2 miles east), Maudlin (2 miles north-east) and East Lavant (2 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (5 miles south-east), Selsey (7 miles south), Littlehampton (11 miles east), Emsworth (7 miles west), Rustington (12 miles east) and Storrington (15 miles east). Chichester is one of the larger places we cover in West Sussex, with lots of choice for events.
Well-known places in the area include Novium Museum (within half a mile south) and Chichester Castle (within half a mile east). Open spaces near Chichester include Stoke Down and Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve.
- Schools near Chichester include Central C of E Junior School (under half a mile west) and Chichester High School For Girls (0.7 miles south)
- Pubs nearby include George and Dragon Inn (less than half a mile south-east)
How our food truck hire works in Chichester
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Chichester, from gardens to venue grounds and business parks. We serve burritos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos, which works well for wedding evening food and end-of-year celebrations.
In Chichester, drives and gardens vary a lot, and what matters is access and level ground. A nearby car park can also work, with permission. You will know what’s included before booking: menu, timings and any add-ons.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label anything containing allergens.
Where the truck can go in Chichester
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. What matters most:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- Enough width and height on the route in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger events, we plan serving points around your timings, so guests are looked after quickly. Tell us how long you have for food and drinks.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Think about cover if the weather turns
The hatch opens at the time you choose, and we cook each order as it comes.
Loaded nachos to share while the first orders cook.

Step by step
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. At midsummer, it stays light in Chichester until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the queue by the hatch needs lighting.
- Tell us what the event is and who’s coming.
- We suggest fillings and dishes for every diet.
- We check power, water and timings with the venue.
- Service runs at the times you choose.
- When everyone is fed, we clear our area.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue is happy to have a truck or trailer on site
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
