Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, Park Town has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it is nearer 7:10pm.

What affects the price in Park Town
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in

Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
