How our food truck hire works in Platt
A hired food truck works for weddings, birthdays and staff days. On the menu are vegan tacos, burrito bowls and loaded nachos, and it’s a good fit for private outdoor parties and launch events.
In a rural place like Platt, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: the gate, the ground and the distance from the lane. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We’ll check the space, access and power with you before the day, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Platt: your questions answered
Do you cater in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
We do, where the venue allows a catering vehicle. Lanes can be narrow and ground soft, so tell us how we’d get in.
How far is Platt from London?
It is about 23 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
What do you need at the venue?
The main things are access and a level spot: a firm spot for the truck or trailer, room for a queue and, for a taco bar, space for a serving table. If in doubt, send us a picture of the space and the way in.
What does hiring your food truck involve?
We bring our truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. Only your guests are served.
Do you have options for kids?
Of course. Mild dishes, quesadillas and nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Are plates and napkins included?
Please ask us. Tell us what your venue provides, and we will confirm what’s included with your quote.
What does it cost to hire the truck?
We don’t publish set prices, because each hire is different. Tell us your plans and we will quote for your event. Our food truck hire guide explains what affects the cost.

Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and rough timings
- Your menu ideas
- Roughly how many adults and children
- The venue or postcode
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. A Christmas party in Platt with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. In late June, it stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Check our availability for your date.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask the venue about power and water
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a space will not work. What matters most:
- A spot away from neighbours
- Any parking or loading permission needed for street locations
- Gate widths, overhead branches and soft ground checked in advance
Not sure about your space? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
How it compares
Hog roasts are popular with meat eaters, but tacos and bowls make vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free guests easier to feed. Your choice of food and drinks affects the price, so tell us what you have in mind. We will suggest options to suit your budget.

Burrito bowls
Rice, beans, a filling and toppings in a bowl.
Tacos from the hatch
A taco is ideal food from a truck, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
DIY taco night or a caterer?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
