Halfway Street: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Halfway Street?
The closest is Shepherds Well station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you serve near the sea around Halfway Street?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
