Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask facilities about access
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
