FAQs for Braywoodside
Could you trade in Ockwells Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Braywoodside close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can our funeral director book for us?
Yes. We can work with whoever is helping you.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How quickly can you come?
Contact us as soon as you can. We’ll tell you right away whether we’re available.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
