Christmas parties in Hoo: local tips
Hoo is about 5 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. Hoo is well within our area, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Hoo is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Hoo to Canterbury (about 10 miles away).
If a church like Church of Saint Mary the Virgin is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Monkton Church of England Primary School, suit a chip van. With the sea within about 6 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Wherever your Christmas party is in CT12, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your Christmas party is on Monkton Road, Hoo Farm Way and Sheriffs Court Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there.
