Common questions in Upper Holloway
Can the van park in Whittington Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Upper Holloway?
Upper Holloway has its own station: Upper Holloway station.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Where the van can park in Upper Holloway
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in for the van
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A level parking spot near the entrance
As a London location, Upper Holloway is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
