Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Light matters for evening service: around Berrick Salome, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
