Parties in Pollhill: homes, halls and local tips

Pollhill is about 6 miles east of Maidstone, in Kent. People in Pollhill book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We take the van to all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Pollhill to Canterbury (about 18 miles away).

Within reach of Pollhill are historic houses such as Leeds Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and Stoneacre (3.8 miles west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. For guests coming by train, Harrietsham station, about 0.5 miles north-east, is the nearest station. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Pollhill, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

Anywhere in ME17, we can fry fresh for your guests. Local streets include Horwood Way, Shrubwood Close and Parkfield Close; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
