Should I sort the food myself?

Parties in Colliers Green: homes, halls and local tips
Colliers Green is about 7 miles south-east of Paddock Wood, in Kent. Wherever your party is in the TN17 area, we’ll come to your venue, home or workplace. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 27 miles away.
Historic houses near Colliers Green include Scotney Castle (4.9 miles south-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. A green space like The Gill is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Colliers Green is within about 2 miles of the High Weald National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

At midsummer, it’s light in Colliers Green until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
