The Platt parties: what to know
The Platt is about 4 miles south of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent.

Historic houses near The Platt include Wadhurst Castle (3 miles south-east) and Groombridge Place (4.2 miles north-west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on outside caterers and vehicles, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. After a christening at a church like The Parish Church of St Alban, a taco truck at home or at a hall is an easy way to feed family and friends. For a party in the countryside, the High Weald National Landscape is within about 4 miles. Rural gardens and fields work well for a truck, given firm ground and a way in.

FAQs for The Platt
Is it possible to have you in Eridge Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we’ll help with the information they need from us.
What’s the nearest station to The Platt for guests?
The closest is Frant station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Do you cater at halls and clubs?
Often, yes. We need firm, level ground outside, access and the venue’s agreement.
Do you give allergen information?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. UK law requires caterers to provide information on 14 allergens, and we do that for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). Anyone with a severe allergy should speak to us before the event.
What happens if it rains?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you serve from my drive or garden?
Normally, if there is firm, level ground and a way in that is wide and tall enough. Send us a photo of the space.
Do you cater for children?
Most children enjoy it, especially quesadillas or simple tacos. Let us know numbers and ages.
How much is a food truck for an event?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually need. Tell us your date and numbers for a clear quote.

DIY taco night or a caterer?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Dietary needs and planning tips
A Mexican menu is easy to plan for mixed diets, because options can be kept separate. A few tips:
- Arrange a gazebo in case of rain
- Ask guests with serious allergies to talk to us first
- Plan where rubbish goes
- Have enough chairs for most guests
We keep our serving area tidy and safe, with space for a queue.
Burrito bowls for guests who skip tortillas.
