Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Mention allergies you know about
- Plan for a few extra people
- Ensure older relatives can sit
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
Give us a contact for the day who isn’t a close family member.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
