What are London Ice-cream Vans?

They are vans that travel around London and you can find them especially in summer. They don’t have an exact location but I believe, you can look out for them in summer and try some ice-cream.

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

One Classic Vanilla Ice-Cream Cone

The price ranges from van to van but my one cost £2.50. This was slightly pricey. It was executed nicely and the appearance was pretty classic and pretty nice. The taste was normal but it didn’t feel that fresh.  I loved the flake and chocolate syrup on top and the cone itself was crunchy.

The Place:

Every van is usually quite colourful and you can’t enter the van usually.

The Service:

I have tried many vans and usually the shopkeepers are quite friendly, but on this particular occasion, the shopkeeper looked a bit rushed and not very friendly. However, she did make the ice-cream fast.

Would I Recommend It?

I would recommend only trying ice-cream from the vans if you are with a group of people on a hot summer day or if you are really craving an ice-cream. Otherwise, you can try something similar for cheaper from a local grocery store like Iceland.

My Rating: 3/5

My Rating System:

⅕ – was below average and would not recommend even trying once

⅖ – the food was average and would not recommend trying

⅗ – the food was delicious but would recommend trying once

⅘ – the food was really good and would recommend trying here

5/5 – the food was outstanding and is one of my favourites!

What is Southern Fried Chicken?

Southern Fried Chicken is a fried chicken takeaway in Leyton. It specialises in fried chicken. 

What I Ordered And My Opinions On It:

Box of 20 wings

This box cost £3.95. This is an amazing price with amazing rewards! They have an amazing brown colour and are filled with meat. They look juicy and the taste is spectacular – the ideal chicken wings!

One Strip Burger

The burger cost £2.50. The burger is normal on the outside but full of juicy chicken on the inside. This burger did not disappoint me as the meat inside was succulent, and it was very yummy overall!

The Place:

The place was quite small and clean and there were seating areas available.

The Service:

The service was good and took a regular amount of time to give the food. One of the staff were talking to another customer which did delay the waiting time but that may have been a one-off.

Would I Recommend It?

I would recommend this place if you live in East London because the wings did not disappoint me compared to other shops and the price is decent too. If you are a fan of chicken wings, I would recommend this place. It is now one of my favourite shops to get wings from and it is definitely underrated.

On Monday 4th January 2021, my sister and I ordered from Firewaves through UberEats. We ordered two pizzas. Was it really worth it?

What is Firewaves?
