Fish and chips is informal, which suits a gathering where people mingle. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for celebrations of life and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space.
In a small place like Broadgate, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Have chairs for those who need them
