What comes out of the fryer

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Should I sort the food myself?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
