Enfield Island Village: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Enfield Island Village?
Enfield Lock station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.
Could you cook in Gunpowder Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll give your team the information they need.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
