Common questions in Enfield Island Village
Which station is closest to Enfield Island Village?
The closest is Enfield Lock station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can the van park in Gunpowder Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.

Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
