The closest is Denham Golf Club station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is Baker's Wood close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
Do you have a kids’ option?

Takeaway run or book a van?

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
