A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.

Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.

- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

- Rough numbers for adults and children
