Very early. Fridays in December book up first.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
