Parties in Milstead: homes, halls and local tips
Milstead is about 3 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We cover Milstead as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Milstead is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our bookings stretch from Milstead to Canterbury (about 15 miles away).
If the day starts at Church of St Mary and the Holy Cross, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives. If you had Cromers Wood in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park.

We also bring the van to parties in Hollybushes (1 mile south-east), Bluetown (1 mile south-east), Frinsted (1 mile south-west), Wichling (2 miles south-east) and Doddington (2 miles south-east).
