Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Plan cover for the queue
- Confirm allergies by email
- December Fridays go first: book early
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Woodside Green in December: what to know
Woodside Green is about 6 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. For a Christmas party in Woodside Green, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Woodside Green. We take the van to 922 places in Kent. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 15 miles away.
For anyone getting the train home after the party, Lenham station is about 1.5 miles away. A winter fair at a school like The Lenham School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Woodside Green; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Lenham station, about 1.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you serve in the cold?
