Party venues around Wrotham Heath
Wrotham Heath is about 7 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. We cover Wrotham Heath as standard, so your party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We serve 922 places across Kent. We serve events right across the region, from Wrotham Heath to London (24 miles away).
Guests arriving by train should know that Borough Green & Wrotham station is about 1.9 miles away. Within reach of Wrotham Heath are historic houses such as Old Soar Manor (2.7 miles south-west) and Ightham Mote (4.4 miles south-west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Wrotham Heath, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
Wherever your party is in ME19 and TN15, we can bring the van to you. Local streets include London Road, Sandy Lane and Clearway; a party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
A few lights around the van look great.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Questions from Wrotham Heath
Do you come out to small places like Wrotham Heath?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Wrotham Heath?
The closest is Borough Green & Wrotham station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
