Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
