About our food truck hire in Thorney Island
As a guide, hiring the truck or trailer suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case. Popular choices include burritos, loaded nachos and vegan tacos, and it suits private outdoor parties and client events and product launches.
Somewhere as small as Thorney Island, 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. We prepare everything fresh for your event and serve it straight from our food truck or trailer, so guests get it at its best.

Thorney Island: parking, access and venues
Thorney Island is about 4 miles south-east of Havant, in West Sussex. Anywhere in PO10, we can serve your guests. Thorney Island is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Chichester, about 7 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (2.1 miles north-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue, check early whether it allows a catering vehicle on site. Before you plan a private event in Eames Farm, ask whoever manages it about vehicles on site. A private event by the sea is within reach, as Thorney Island is within about 4 miles of the coast. Promenades and beaches typically need the council’s agreement for a catering vehicle.
This part of West Sussex takes in PO10, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Whether your event is on Hunter Road, Emsworth Road and Spartan Close or a nearby road, we’ll plan where to park and serve. For events just outside Thorney Island, we cover West Thorney (1 mile south-east), North Hayling (1 mile west), Tye (1 mile south-west), Northney (1 mile west) and Emsworth (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Bognor Regis (11 miles east), Chichester (7 miles east), Selsey (9 miles south-east), Portfield (7 miles east), Yapton (14 miles east) and East Wittering (5 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include Havant War Memorial Hospital (3.2 miles north-west) and Emsworth Museum (1.6 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Nutborne Marshes.
- Local schools include Bourne Community College (1.9 miles north)
How it works
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue. At midsummer, it stays light in Thorney Island until about 9:20pm, and by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, plan lighting where guests queue at the hatch.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- The spot and the way in are agreed in advance.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll put together a menu and price.
Planning help
Can I do a taco night myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
For a small group, a taco night at home can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, with allergen information for every dish.
Where the truck can go in Thorney Island
We serve from a truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Some space between the truck and nearby homes
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
What affects the price in Thorney Island
We quote for your event, and the price is based on:
- Whether you need disposables
- Serving staff
- The number of people
- What’s on the menu
Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, because it needs no venue kitchen. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many adults and children
- What power and water the site has
- Gate widths, slopes and the ground
- Diets and allergies you know about
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

How far is Thorney Island from central London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Will you travel to a small place like Thorney Island?
Yes. Villages and hamlets are part of our area, and the main thing is access: tell us about the lane, the gate and the ground.
Can we add drinks?
We bring bar staff with the drinks bar and alcohol-free choices. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we will check with you.
How spicy is the food?
It is up to you: we can keep the main dishes mild, with hotter salsas served separately. Read more about how spicy Mexican food is.
What happens if it rains?
We can serve from the hatch in the rain. Plan cover for guests, such as a marquee or gazebo, and let us know if the ground gets soft after heavy rain.
Is the food made fresh?
We cook to order in our truck or trailer kitchen, or serve from a taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes, and it helps to hear about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.

We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
