What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Bushey Mead

Around Bushey Mead, a Christmas booking needs a lit, off-road spot. Plan parking and access early, as December is busy on the roads. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
