Perrywood in December: what to know
Perrywood is about 4 miles south-east of Faversham, in Kent. Give us the address of your Christmas party in Perrywood, and we will plan access and set-up. We cover 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 7 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Selling Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. For colleagues travelling by train, the closest railway station is Selling station, roughly 1.2 miles north-east of the centre. Perrywood is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
For Christmas parties in ME13, we just need to know where the van can park. If your venue is just outside Perrywood, we also cover Selling (1 mile north), Hogben's Hill (1 mile north-west), Shottenden (1 mile south), Neames Forstal (1 mile north-east) and Gushmere (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include Ashford (9 miles south), Canterbury (7 miles east), Sittingbourne (10 miles north-west), Whitstable (8 miles north-east), Faversham (4 miles north-west) and Herne Bay (12 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Tower keep castle at Chilham (2.1 miles south-east).
- Pubs nearby include The White Lion Public House (0.5 miles north)
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Book as early as possible for December
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
