- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planning a Christmas party in Palmer's Green
Palmer's Green is about 6 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Palmer's Green, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot. Palmer's Green is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Palmer's Green to Canterbury (about 30 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as Parish Church of All Saints can book the van as a hot-food stall. A winter fair at a school like Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Palmer's Green is within about 7 miles of the High Weald National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over the TN12 postcode area. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Castle Hill (1 mile north-east), Pearson's Green (1 mile north-east), Horsmonden (1 mile south-east), Mile Oak (1 mile north) and Hazel Street (2 miles south).

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
When service is finished, we pack up.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
