Planning a gathering in West Sussex usually means finding a balance between the county’s natural beauty and the practicalities of feeding a crowd. Whether you are hosting a wedding with views of the South Downs, a corporate gathering in the historic town of Arundel, or a celebration near the bustling seafront in Worthing, the quality of your food should match the setting.

At Bears Street Food, we provide West Sussex street food van hire, bringing a professional kitchen directly to your location.

Rather than settling for a standard cold buffet, choosing a mobile setup creates a social focal point. There is an energy to a live kitchen that encourages guests to mingle, making it an ideal choice for the relaxed, outdoor atmosphere West Sussex is known for.

 

Mobile Catering Solutions for Sussex Events

Bringing the Theatre to Your Sussex Celebration

Traditional event catering can often feel restricted by the venue’s facilities. With street food catering in West Sussex, we turn almost any space into a high-functioning kitchen. This flexibility is particularly useful for event catering in remote areas such as the Chichester Harbour AONB, or for private parties in rural gardens where indoor kitchen access might be limited.

Expertise Beyond the Menu

  • Corporate Events Catering: Boost team morale with something better than a standard office lunch. We bring corporate events catering to your business premises in Chichester or Crawley, offering a hot, fresh alternative that your team will actually look forward to.
  • Festival Catering: We are built for high-volume service. Whether it’s a local food fair or a large-scale music event, we keep the lines moving without ever sacrificing the standard of our ingredients.
  • TV & Film Catering: West Sussex’s diverse landscapes are a frequent choice for production crews. We provide reliable TV & Film catering that works around punishing filming schedules, ensuring cast and crew are well-fed on-site.
  • Weddings and Private Functions: For couples who want a more relaxed, “festival-vibe” wedding, our van offers a social way to feed guests that feels personal and high-end.

What’s Cooking? Authentic Food

Our menu is all about quality ingredients and bold flavours that taste great anywhere. Try our Big Bear Burger with a 6oz Aberdeen Angus patty, melted cheese, onions, and mushrooms. If you like chicken, our Tuscan Chicken has sliced breast in a creamy mascarpone sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and basil.

Other crowd favourites include our slow-cooked Pulled Pork, prepared with Bear’s own recipe BBQ sauce and served in a fresh ciabatta or baguette, and marinated Pork Steaks served with onions and mushrooms. We also offer Pork Sausages topped with onions and mushrooms in a fresh baguette.

For our vegetarian guests, we serve a Halloumi Burger grilled with peppers and a hit of sweet chilli sauce.

If none of these quite fit your specific vision, Bears can also create a bespoke menu, tailored to your event’s theme or dietary requirements.

“Absolutely fantastic service! Great quality food provided by Lee and the team at Bear Street Food.

Top Notch!” – Cassie Y

 

Logistics: We Handle the Hard Work

We know that a perfect West Sussex venue might be down a narrow lane or in a remote field. Our units are entirely self-sufficient, bringing their own power and water to your location. We handle the entire setup and pack-down, leaving you with zero mess at the end of the night. Whether your street food van hire needs to be positioned in a tight town-centre space or a quiet corner of the Weald, we coordinate with you to ensure a seamless service.
