Food your guests will love
Cod and chips

For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Widley
It works for teams who can’t all leave at once, because service can be planned in waves. For christmas customer days and lights switch-on events, we can cook gravy, pie and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Widley, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
