What else we do in Hollow Street
Hosting a chip van party in Hollow Street
Hollow Street is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. For parties in Hollow Street, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Hollow Street is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Hollow Street to Canterbury (about 6 miles away).
A green space like Grove Ferry Picnic Area is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. If guests are coming by rail, Sturry station is about 3.6 miles away. The coast is within about 4 miles, so a chip van is a natural choice.
Parties anywhere in CT3 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. For parties just outside Hollow Street, we cover Chislet (1 mile north-east), Chitty (1 mile north-east), Old Tree (1 mile north-west), Boyden Gate (1 mile north) and Hoath (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (6 miles south-west), Margate (9 miles east), Dover (14 miles south), Ramsgate (10 miles east), Broadstairs (11 miles east) and Whitstable (7 miles west).

- Local schools include Spires Academy (2.2 miles south-west)
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Is Hollow Street too small for a chip van?

Can the van park on my drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.

Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
