Christmas parties in Kempe's Corner: local tips
Kempe's Corner is about 4 miles north-east of Ashford, in Kent. In and around Kempe's Corner, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. Kempe's Corner is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Kempe's Corner to Canterbury (about 10 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as All Saints’ Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Lady Joanna Thornhill Endowed Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Kempe's Corner; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
