About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Have a back-up for special diets
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
