We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you do regular visits?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
