Party venues around Eddington
Eddington is about 1 mile south-west of Herne Bay, in Kent. Wherever your party is in the CT6 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Eddington to Canterbury (6 miles away).
A christening at Church of St Martin followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. A green space like Curtis Wood is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. The coast is within about 2 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.
We cover parties in every part of the CT6 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean a party at a home on Parkland Road, Cooper Drive and Sidney Grove, wherever the van can park. Nearby, we also serve parties in Bullockstone (1 mile south-west), Herne (1 mile south-east), Greenhill (1 mile west), Hunters Forstal (1 mile east) and Herne Bay (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (6 miles south), Margate (11 miles east), Ramsgate (13 miles east), Broadstairs (13 miles east), Whitstable (4 miles west) and Deal (15 miles south-east).

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. A summer party in Eddington stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, 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.
