Is Highmoor Cross too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
