East Hampnett: venues, access and local tips
East Hampnett is about 4 miles east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Tell us where your event in East Hampnett will be, and we will plan access and set-up. We cater in 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 25 miles away.
When the service is at a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary, the food generally happens elsewhere, at a field, hall or garden with room for the truck. For a fête or sports day at a school such as Tangmere Primary Academy, hot food from a truck or trailer saves the volunteers from cooking. East Hampnett is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park, with country venues and gardens that can suit a food truck. Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about vehicles and catering, so check with yours. With the sea within about 5 miles, a beach-side event might appeal. Promenades and beaches generally need permission, and the truck or trailer has to park on firm ground, not sand.
Here we cover the PO18 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Streets in the area include Marsh Lane and East Hampnett Lane, and an event on any of them can work if the truck or trailer can park nearby.

Common questions in East Hampnett
Is East Hampnett close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like East Hampnett?
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.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a picture and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you provide drinks?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, serving margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas such as hibiscus and horchata, and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we will talk licensing through with you.
What are your prices?
We quote for each event, depending on numbers, menu, venue and timings. Contact us for a quote.
Do you do a taco bar?
Yes. We can set up a build-your-own taco bar, served from the truck or a serving table, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Is Mexican catering right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast or barbecue, tacos make vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to cater for, because fillings and toppings are kept separate. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.

Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Plan somewhere covered for guests to eat if it rains
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Let us know if a guest is coeliac
- Ask guests with severe allergies to talk to us before the event
We have allergen information for every dish at the hatch.
Quesadillas are a good choice for children and cautious eaters, because they’re simple.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can check the date.
If you are booking for a business, tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
