Catering an event in Whitehawk
Whitehawk is about 1 mile south-east of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. For an event in Whitehawk, we can park up at venues, fields, drives and courtyards in and around Whitehawk. We cover 30 places in Brighton and Hove.
Around Whitehawk, historic houses include Royal Pavilion (1.4 miles west) and Preston Manor & Gardens (2.3 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and vehicles early. If people are travelling in by rail, the nearest station is Brighton station, about 1.6 miles west.

Whitehawk is within about 2 miles of the sea, so for a seaside event we plan around the wind. The truck or trailer needs firm ground rather than sand or shingle, and seafront spots generally need permission from the council or landowner.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask guests about diets and allergies with your invitations

- Ensure the menu has a vegan option
For a taco bar, we lay the fillings, salsas and toppings out on a table, and guests help themselves while we keep it topped up.
Margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas can be added from our drinks bar, with licensing checked with you.
- Served from our truck or trailer at your venue, garden or event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, with allergen information
