How our party fish and chip van works in Hucking

Hucking parties: what to know
Hucking is about 5 miles south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Anywhere in ME17, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. We take the van to 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Hucking to Canterbury (about 19 miles away).
For party guests on the train, Hollingbourne station, about 2.1 miles south, is the nearest station. A green space like Stockbury Hill Wood is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Hucking, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We cover parties in every part of the ME17 postcode area and the streets around it. For parties just outside Hucking, we cover Bicknor (1 mile east), Broad Street (1 mile south-west), Hollingbourne (2 miles south), Wormshill (2 miles east) and Eyhorne Street (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (5 miles west), Ashford (14 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (5 miles north-east), Gravesend (15 miles north-west), Faversham (11 miles east) and Minster (11 miles north-east).
A little further out are KIMS hospital (3.8 miles west) and Leeds Castle (3.2 miles south). The countryside around Hucking includes Detling Hill.
- Local pubs include Hook and Hatchet pub (under half a mile west)
Hucking questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Margaret: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can the van come to our street party?
Frequently, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What do you need at the house?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will confirm what we need.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
