Shopwyke: venues, access and licensing
Shopwyke is about 2 miles east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Anywhere in PO20, we’ll come to your venue or site. Shopwyke is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we can bring Mexican bar hire. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 27 miles away.
Couples leaving a church such as The Parish Church of St Peter could be greeted with margaritas and aguas frescas at the reception. Older venues around Shopwyke may restrict vehicles and outside drinks service, so confirm what’s allowed before booking. With the sea within about 5 miles, a seaside drinks reception is an option. Seafront spots usually need permission, especially for alcohol, and the truck or trailer needs firm ground.
We cater events across the PO20 postcode area. Local streets include Coach Road and Drayton Lane; for an event at home on any of them, tell us where the truck or trailer can park. Nearby, we also cater events in Maudlin (1 mile north), Westhampnett (1 mile north-west), Oving (1 mile east), Portfield (1 mile west) and Strettington (1 mile north). Further out, we also cater in Worthing (15 miles east), Bognor Regis (4 miles south-east), Selsey (8 miles south), Littlehampton (9 miles east), Emsworth (9 miles west) and Rustington (10 miles east).

DIY taco night versus a caterer
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
A DIY taco night works well for a small group. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, with allergen information for every dish.

Shopwyke questions
Can you serve near the sea around Shopwyke?
Yes, as long as the site allows it and the ground is firm. Seafront and beach spots usually need permission, and wind is the main thing to plan for.
Do you come out to small places like Shopwyke?
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.
Will someone run the bar?
We bring bar staff.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, with hotter salsas on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Can you cater in a back garden?
Yes, if the truck or trailer can get in and park on level, firm ground. Send us a picture of the access and the space.
Can we have a build-your-own taco bar?
Yes. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from. Read our taco bar guide.
Do you cook on site?
Food is cooked to order in our truck or trailer, or served from a build-your-own taco bar. Slow-cooked fillings are prepared in advance and kept hot on site.
What do you need at the venue?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
