Sweet Cherry

A long-established Chinese takeaway occupying a parade unit close to Cockfosters Underground station, Sweet Cherry has served the leafy north end of the Piccadilly line for many years. The kitchen turns out a traditional Cantonese menu — spare ribs, sweet-and-sour, black bean dishes, satay chicken, chow mein and a full range of fried and steamed rice dishes — alongside a vegetarian selection that covers tofu and mixed vegetable plates. Hadley Wood residents and Trent Park walkers are among the regular customers, and the proximity to the Piccadilly line terminus means it catches commuters on the way home. Station Parade is a compact strip of local businesses; Sweet Cherry is among its most established tenants. Straightforward, consistent cooking with efficient takeaway and local delivery service.
