Broom Street: venues and local tips

We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We cook right across the region, from Broom Street to Canterbury (about 7 miles away).
Guests travelling by rail: Faversham station is about 2.1 miles away. A picnic in South Swale? Check the park’s rules first; a garden or hired venue is often easier for catering. With the sea within about 5 miles, seafood tapas such as gambas al ajillo are a natural choice.

Prices and what affects them
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The number of people
