Common questions in Halfway Houses
Which station is closest to Halfway Houses?
The closest is Queenborough station, roughly 1 mile away.
Could you serve in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Tell us about the space and we’ll advise.
Do you need power?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we will confirm what we need. We confirm power and water with each booking.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can talk through how their food is prepared.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates go first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our own area when service is finished. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
