About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Confirm allergies by email
- Agree how the base is left
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Takeaway run or book a van?
