What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At midsummer, it is light in Arnos Grove until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
