Planning food truck hire around Poynings
Poynings is about 4 miles north of Brighton and Hove, in West Sussex. Events in Poynings are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, agreed timings and fresh service on the day. We serve in 371 places across West Sussex.
Nearby historic houses include Portslade Manor (3.7 miles south) and Preston Manor & Gardens (4.5 miles south-east). Listed venues often control where vehicles go, so raise food truck hire at your first visit. When the service is at a church such as The Church of the Holy Trinity, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. With the South Downs National Park within about 5 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 coast within about 6 miles of Poynings, wind is worth planning for. A sheltered, firm spot for the truck or trailer and the queue works best.
Here we cover the BN45 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include The Street and Cora's Walk, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby. For events just outside Poynings, we cover Fulking (1 mile south-west), Hangleton (3 miles south), Portslade (4 miles south), Castle Town (4 miles west) and Kingston by Sea (4 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Crawley (15 miles north), Horsham (13 miles north-west), Worthing (10 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (9 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (5 miles north-east) and Littlehampton (15 miles south-west).
A little further out are The Budding Foundation Museum of Gardening (2.9 miles north-east) and Southlands Hospital (4.4 miles south-west). The countryside around Poynings includes Wolstonbury Hill and Woods Mill.
- Local pubs include Royal Oak pub (within half a mile south)
Food truck hire or something else?
Booking several street food trucks means juggling several suppliers. One truck with tacos, burritos and nachos is one booking to manage. Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you choose what goes in.
What we offer in Poynings
- Service planned around your numbers
- A plan agreed before the day
- A menu agreed with you
- Every guest catered for, vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free included
Planning for every diet
We cater for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. To get it right:
- Share your running order
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Guests with serious allergies should contact us first
Service starts when your timings say.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.

- Serving staff
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food

What else we do in Poynings
Poynings: your questions answered
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot for the truck or trailer, with access wide and high enough to drive in, plus the venue’s permission. We confirm power and water with you for each booking.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
How much does food truck hire cost in Poynings?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the length of service and the location. Send us the details for a quote.
How many guests can you serve?
Our truck and trailer service usually suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Festivals can be bigger, and smaller parties are quoted case by case. Tell us your numbers.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, we can. Let us know your dairy-free numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you’re ready, and your guests are served fresh for the agreed time. December events in Poynings lose the light at about 3:55pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.

- You get a hatch menu and a quote for the hire.
- Before the day, we agree the spot, the way in, power and water.
- Your guests order at the hatch and we serve hot food at the agreed times.
- When service ends, we pack up and leave the spot clear.
How to prepare
