Food truck hire in Somerley, served fresh
Food truck hire means our truck or trailer is booked for your guests only. Unlike a stall at a festival or market, it is a private hire, so we plan the menu and service times around you. It works well for back-garden parties and wedding receptions, with burritos, tacos from the hatch and vegan tacos.
In a hamlet or village like Somerley, our food truck or trailer can serve a private party or a team day in a field or garden. Guests order at the hatch, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue in case of rain. Guests are served from our truck or trailer, or from a serving table nearby, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Most events have a mix of diets. To plan for them:
- Ask guests with severe allergies to speak to us beforehand
- Check gate widths and any height limits
- Look into parking permissions if the truck can’t go off-road
- Count children separately
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we’ve arranged. It helps if someone can meet us on arrival.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it’s more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
Somerley: parking, access and venues
Somerley is about 4 miles north-west of Selsey, in West Sussex. For an event in Somerley, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards. We serve in all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
After a service at a church such as St James' Church, a hired food truck at a garden, field or venue nearby can feed everyone. Somerley is about 59 miles from central London. The coast is within about 5 miles of Somerley, so 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 PO20, we can bring food truck hire to you. From Bell Lane and Hundredsteddle Lane or a nearby road, we will plan where to park and serve. We also serve at events in Almodington (1 mile south-east), Birdham (1 mile north-east), Shipton Green (1 mile north-west), Earnley (1 mile south) and East Wittering (2 miles south-west). We also cater in nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (7 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-east), Selsey (4 miles south-east), Littlehampton (14 miles east), Emsworth (6 miles north-west) and Rustington (15 miles east).
A little further out are Chichester Castle (4.9 miles north-east) and St Richard's Hospital (5.2 miles north-east). Open spaces near Somerley include Pilsey Island.
- Local pubs include The Birdham Public House (1 mile north-east)

How we price food truck hire
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- What the venue already provides
- Guest numbers
- What’s on the menu
- Staff for serving and the bar
The price depends on guest numbers, the menu and how long you’d like us to serve, plus any add-ons and the location. We quote for each event individually.

- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh for the agreed time. Planning a private evening event in Somerley? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After that, festoon lights or lamps near the truck help guests order.

Your questions about food truck hire in Somerley
We are having a ceremony at St James' Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Send us the reception address.
Do you cater at coastal events near Somerley?
Yes, with permission for the spot and firm ground for the truck or trailer. Wind, sand and seafront permissions are the main things to plan on the coast.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give 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.
What do you need at the venue?
Level, firm ground or hardstanding, access wide and high enough to drive in, and the venue’s permission. Power and water are confirmed with each booking.
Do you do food truck hire for weddings?
The truck or trailer can serve the wedding breakfast, evening food or both. Timings are agreed with you and your venue. See our food truck wedding guide.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
Why choose food truck hire in Somerley?
Most guests have seen a burger van. Tacos and burritos from a truck feel different. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: serving hours, staff, disposables, travel and VAT. Contact us for a quote and we will set out what’s included.
