Nob's Crook: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Nob's Crook?
The closest is Eastleigh station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Nob's Crook?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Nob's Crook, so put the van where there’s good light.
