Food truck hire for your event in Halnaker
Pair the truck with our Mexican drinks bar for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas, with licensing checked with you. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. For client hospitality and engagement parties, we can serve vegan tacos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Halnaker, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. You will know what’s included before you book: the menu, the service time and any extras you choose.

Planning for every diet
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because options can be kept separate. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Confirm allergies with us in writing
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Tell us about coeliac guests
The hatch opens at the time you choose.

Hiring a food truck in Halnaker
Halnaker is about 3 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. We serve at events in gardens, halls and venues around Halnaker and nearby villages. Halnaker is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover.
Nearby historic houses include Goodwood House (1.4 miles west) and West Dean House (4 miles north-west). Historic houses and estates normally have firm rules on vehicles, so ask where a hired food truck could park before you book. Roughly 51 miles separate Halnaker from central London, close enough for a London team’s away day. A private event by the sea is within reach, as Halnaker is within about 6 miles of the coast. Promenades and beaches generally need the council’s agreement for a catering vehicle.
Wherever your event is in PO18, we can bring food truck hire to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on The Street, Stame Road and Oakford Park or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. If your venue is just outside Halnaker, we also cover Boxgrove (1 mile south), Waterbeach (1 mile west), Tangmere (1 mile south), Strettington (1 mile south-west) and Westerton (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Worthing (14 miles east), Bognor Regis (5 miles south), Chichester (3 miles south-west), Selsey (10 miles south), Littlehampton (9 miles south-east) and Emsworth (10 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Chichester Centre (2.9 miles south-west) and The Chichester City Museum (3.4 miles south-west). The countryside around Halnaker includes Levin Down.

FAQs for Halnaker
Which station is closest to Halnaker?
Guests can use Chichester station, about 3.8 miles south-west of Halnaker.
Is Halnaker close to London?
It is about 51 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Halnaker.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, with corn tortillas. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free, but some fillings, sauces and toppings may not be, so we check every dish and give allergen information.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
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.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep it mild and put the hotter salsas on the side. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
Can we hire a bar too?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. Licensing is checked with you.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
Can I do a taco night myself?
Weighing up a DIY taco night against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
How the day works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. December events in Halnaker lose the light at about 4:00pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
