Upper Halling questions
Which station is closest to Upper Halling?
Halling station, about 0.8 miles east of the centre.
Could you trade in Holborough Marshes?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Sunset in Upper Halling in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
