Food is fried to order, so lunch is hot and fresh. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for treat days on a long shoot and period dramas on location.
Near Cop Street, check tracks and ground for the van. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
