Food truck hire in Ford: local tips
Ford is about 2 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Events in Ford are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. Ford is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we can bring food truck hire. Our truck and trailer cover the area from Ford to Chichester (about 9 miles away).
Colleagues or friends without a car may like to know that Ford has its own station, Ford station. Close to Ford are historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (4.8 miles east). Historic houses and estates typically have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before booking. With the South Downs National Park within about 6 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. With the sea within about 3 miles, 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.
Wherever your event is in BN18, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Station Road, Ford Road and Rodney Crescent or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Tortington (1 mile north), Horsemere Green (1 mile south), Climping (1 mile south), Wick (1 mile east) and Lyminster (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Worthing (8 miles east), Bognor Regis (5 miles south-west), Chichester (9 miles west), Selsey (11 miles south-west), Shoreham-by-Sea (14 miles east) and Lancing (11 miles east).
A little further out are Arundel and District Hospital (2.1 miles north) and Rustington Museum (3.5 miles east). The countryside around Ford includes WWT Arundel.
- Pubs nearby include The Arundel Arms Public House At Ford Station (under half a mile north-east)
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide the information the landowner or council asks for from us.
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work to it.
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.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
