As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
