Sherwood Garden Ltd

Sherwood Garden is the Chinese takeaway tucked into the small parade on Sherwood Park Avenue, sitting alongside the southern-fried-chicken shop and the curry kitchen that make up the short cluster of food businesses serving the residential streets running off Sidcup Hill towards the Albany Park railway station. The shop is a collection-and-delivery operation rather than a sit-in, and trades on a long British-Cantonese menu and the convenience of a single neighbourhood parade where the local households can pick up Chinese, chicken and curry from three different counters in five minutes.

The menu covers the expected sweet-and-sour chicken or pork in batter, beef in black bean, chicken in cashew nuts, salt-and-pepper ribs, special chow mein, singapore fried rice, foo yung and a long curry section, with set meals priced for two, three and four diners that bundle starter, main and rice. The shop runs late into the evening — the directory listings flag a particular focus on late-night food, with collection orders taken right up to closing time — and offers delivery across central Sidcup, Foots Cray, Halfway Street and Albany Park. Card and cash accepted at the counter; the business is registered with Companies House as Sherwood Garden Ltd.
