The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
