A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Display allergens for each stall
