Common questions in Hook Park Estate
Which station is closest to Hook Park Estate?
Hamble station, about 2.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Hook Park Estate?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
