Brighton and Hove: venues, access and licensing
Brighton and Hove is in England. For an event in Brighton and Hove, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Brighton and Hove. We cover 30 places in Brighton and Hove, from the larger towns to small villages, wherever the truck or trailer can get in.
Guests travelling by rail: Brighton and Hove has its own station, Aldrington station. Close to Brighton and Hove are historic houses such as Portslade Manor (1.3 miles west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (1.7 miles east). Many listed venues control who serves drinks on their premises, so ask yours what it allows. With the South Downs National Park within about 7 miles, a countryside drinks reception is an option. Check how the venue handles outside bars and vehicles. The coast is within about 3 miles, close enough for drinks by the sea. Seafront spots normally need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
We serve at events all over BN3, BN41 and BN1 and the streets around it. Your event could be at a home on New Church Road, Princes Square and Station Road. Brighton and Hove sits on or near the A270 and A293, which makes travel to your event easy. For events just outside Brighton and Hove, we cover Aldrington (1 mile south-west), West Blatchington (1 mile north-east), Hove (1 mile south-east), Prestonville (2 miles east) and Brunswick (2 miles south-east). We also cater in nearby towns such as Brighton (3 miles east), Carlton Hill (3 miles east), Hanover (3 miles east), Kemptown (3 miles south-east), Hollingdean (3 miles east) and Whitehawk (4 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include British Engineerium (0.7 miles north-east) and Churchill Square (2.1 miles south-east). Not far away are Thundersbarrow Hill and Ladies Mile.
- Nearby schools include Hove Park School (0.5 miles north-east) and The Drive Prep School (1 mile east)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Atlas pub (less than half a mile north)
Brighton and Hove: 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.
Could you come to a seaside event near Brighton and Hove?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots typically need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do we need a licence for the bar?
Alcohol at an event needs the venue’s premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice. We check the licensing with you before the day. GOV.UK explains Temporary Event Notices.
Is the food made fresh?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
Do you have vegan options?
Of course. We can include vegetarian and vegan fillings like black beans or spiced mushrooms.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we will plan the menu around them.
Do you need electricity?
That depends on the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there’s a supply near where we will park.
What we need at the venue
Everything is served from our truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- The venue’s permission for an outside bar

The process
Guests tend to gather around the truck, so we will help you choose a spot with room for a queue. Rain does not generally stop us serving, though guests will want somewhere covered to stand or sit. Evening drinks in Brighton and Hove stay light until about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits an outdoor bar. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- We check availability.
- We suggest margaritas, beer, aguas frescas and alcohol-free choices.
- We confirm power, water and the bar spot.
- We set up and serve on cue.
- When the bar shuts, we clear away.
How to prepare
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles allergen information for you.
Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
