Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
FAQs for Sewardstone
Is parking a problem for the van in Sewardstone?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to Sewardstone?
The closest is Enfield Lock station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
