Mixed diets are straightforward to plan for, because guests can choose what suits them. A few tips:
- Fit the bar into your running order

Taco bar hire in Platt, served fresh
Fillings are agreed with you, perhaps carnitas, chicken tinga or birria, plus a vegan choice such as spiced mushroom or black bean and sweet potato. At engagement and anniversary parties and wedding meals, we will put together a menu of guacamole, pickled onions and toppings and a build-your-own taco bar.
For a rural spot like Platt, a taco bar beside the truck in a field or garden is a simple set-up. Let us know about the gate, the ground and the route in, and we’ll confirm power and water with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What affects the price in Platt
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many staff you need
- Parking and the route in
- The number of people
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Extras, such as more dishes, extra drinks or a longer service, are quoted on request, so you can choose what you need.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- Whether you’d like food, drinks or both
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the space, if it is a garden or field
Still deciding on the menu? No problem: give us the basics about your event, and we will make suggestions. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Why choose taco bar hire in Platt?
A taco bar and a truck serve the same food in different ways. From the truck, we put each order together; at the taco bar, guests do the building. Catering from a truck or trailer can be a practical alternative to a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we offer in Platt
- Set-up planned with you and your venue
- A menu agreed with you
- A truck or trailer that comes to you
- Menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

Taco bar hire in Platt: local tips
Platt is about 6 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. From the centre of Platt to the outskirts, taco bar hire works the same way: fresh service from our food truck or trailer, every diet planned for and a clear quote. Platt is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. You can also see our page for Maidstone, about 9 miles away.
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 0.9 miles west. Guests leaving a church like Church of St Mary could head to a nearby hall or garden where the taco bar is ready. Platt is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, with barns and country venues that could host a taco bar. Where vehicles cannot reach the room, the station can be set up there with the venue’s agreement, but we still need to unload close by.
Wherever your event is in TN15, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests.

Hosting a party at home? Send a picture of the space and tell us about access, and we’ll let you know if it is a good fit.

What happens on the day
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. A December taco bar in Platt will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Start with the essentials: the date, venue, headcount and diets.
- We suggest fillings, salsas and toppings for the bar and send a quote.
- Together we fix the spot for the taco bar and a nearby place for our vehicle.
- Our staff set up the station, keep the fillings hot and top up the bar through service.
- When service finishes, we clear the table and pack the vehicle.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park

Who books taco bar hire in Platt?
A taco bar feeds a crowd steadily, which suits a wedding breakfast or a lunch break.
Whatever the occasion, the serving truck can be a highlight. We can cater:
- Garden parties
- Team lunches
- Wedding breakfasts
- Wedding evening food
Nearby historic houses include Old Soar Manor (1.9 miles south) and Ightham Mote (3.3 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit where vehicles can go, so ask whether a taco bar station could be set up inside while our food truck or trailer parks further off.

Your questions about taco bar hire in Platt
Do you come out to small places like Platt?
Yes, we cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates, ground and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Greater London, Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire, including Platt.
Do you do parties at home?
Yes, as long as there’s access and a level, firm spot. Send us a picture of the access and the space, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
What guest numbers do you cater for?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests, while smaller parties are looked at case by case. Tell us your numbers and we’ll plan the bar around them.
Does the taco bar need the truck on site?
The taco bar can sit next to the truck or trailer, or in a spot of its own. Either way, we need to unload nearby and have the venue’s permission.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book.
How is the food prepared?
Fillings are slow-cooked in advance, then finished and kept hot on site. Tortillas are warmed on site, and salsas and guacamole are made fresh.
