Christmas catering near Lympne

We serve all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Lympne to Canterbury (14 miles away).
Train travellers will want to know that the closest railway station is Westenhanger station, roughly 1.4 miles north-east of the centre.

With the sea within about 3 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Can you serve near the sea around Lympne?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, it is a popular stall. Contact us with the date.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date.
Do you come to Lympne?
We do. We serve events in Lympne and across Kent. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
