FAQs for Forty Hill
Could you trade in Enfield Town Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Jesus Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It usually ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

In Forty Hill, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
