FAQs for Burwood Park
Can the van park in West End Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Burwood Park close to London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What can residents choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
