Chilworth Old Village events: pitches and permissions
Chilworth Old Village is about 2 miles south-west of Chandler's Ford, in Southampton. Wherever your event is in the SO16 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We serve in all 40 towns and villages in Southampton.
For a public event, it helps to tell people that the nearest station is Chandlers Ford station, about 2 miles north-east. A school such as North Baddesley Junior School running a summer fair could book a taco truck. Within about 5 miles of the sea, coastal events bring wind and sand into the plan. A firm, sheltered pitch suits a truck or trailer best.
This part of Southampton takes in SO16, and we can cater your event anywhere in it with access for the truck or trailer. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Chilworth (1 mile south-east), North Baddesley (1 mile north-west), Knightwood (2 miles north-east), Lordswood (2 miles south) and Bassett (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Southampton (4 miles south), Shirley (3 miles south), Regents Park (3 miles south), Townhill Park (4 miles south-east), Midanbury (4 miles south-east) and Thornhill (5 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Eastleigh Museum (2.9 miles east) and Princess Anne Hospital (2.3 miles south). Not far away are Emer Bog and Baddesley Common.
- Schools near Chilworth Old Village include Cantell School (2 miles south-east)

Dietary needs and planning tips
Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Provide seating near the food
- Book crew catering in advance
- Agree when vehicles can move on site
- Share power and water details early
At the end, we clear the pitch and leave it clean.

The process
A typical event goes like this: we park up and get ready, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. At midsummer, events in Chilworth Old Village stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- When trading ends, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Share the running order, including any speeches
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
- Find out what power and water are available
