How our food truck hire works in Lancing
When you hire our food truck, it serves your guests and nobody else. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it’s a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It suits leaving dos and retirements and milestone birthdays, serving burritos, fresh salsas and guacamole and loaded nachos.
For a place the size of Lancing, food truck hire at your own home is often simplest: no venue to book, and guests order straight from the hatch. Tell us about the lane and the drive. We turn up ready to serve, and tidy our own area afterwards.

Can I do a taco night myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
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.
How the day works
From set-up to service, we look after everything you’ve booked from us, so you can enjoy your event.

Hiring a food truck in Lancing
Lancing is about 3 miles east of Worthing, in West Sussex. We serve at events in homes, gardens and venues in Lancing. Lancing is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we can bring food truck hire. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 8 miles away.
Historic houses near Lancing include Portslade Manor (4.6 miles east). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit. A food truck in Brooklands Park would need the park owner’s agreement, so check that first. With the coast within about 3 miles of Lancing, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
For food truck hire in BN15, we plan around your venue and the route in and your guests. From North Road, North Farm Road and Addison Close or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. Lancing is on the A2025, so it’s easy for us to reach with the truck or trailer. Close by, we cover events in Sompting (1 mile west), East Worthing (2 miles south-west), Broadwater (2 miles west), Offington (3 miles west) and Botolphs (3 miles north). We also cater in nearby towns such as Worthing (3 miles west), Haywards Heath (15 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (12 miles north-east), Littlehampton (9 miles west), Rustington (8 miles west) and Storrington (8 miles north-west).
A little further out are Worthing Hospital (2 miles south-west) and Old Castle (3.1 miles west). The countryside around Lancing includes Lancing Ring and Widewater Lagoon.
- Nearby schools include The Sir Robert Woodard Academy (0.6 miles north-west) and Sompting Abbotts Preparatory School (1.5 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include The Railway pub (under half a mile south-west)
Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking
- Enough width and height on the route in
- Agreement from the venue to bring in a catering vehicle
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Diets, allergies and planning
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To get it right:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have shelter ready in case of rain
- Let us know who is coeliac
- Ask the venue about catering vehicles before booking
Guests come to the hatch, order and wait a short moment for hot food.
Ask about a second service later in the evening, quoted with the main booking.
