Clement Street: venues, parking and local tips
Clement Street is about 2 miles south of Dartford, in Kent. People in Clement Street book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We cover 922 places in Kent. Our nearest city page is London, about 14 miles away.
Thinking of using Dartford Heath? Parks usually need the owner’s permission, frequently the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. After a service at Church of Saint Paul, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. Clement Street is within about 6 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Ask your venue about vehicle access.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.

A chip van compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
