Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families can join in. We are frequently asked to cater visiting days and day centre treats, with mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips.

Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
