Forty Hill questions
Which station is closest to Forty Hill?
The closest is Turkey Street station, roughly 1 mile away.
We’re gathering after a service at Jesus Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wake and we’ll send a quote.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For event organisers in Forty Hill
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
