What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
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.
Perfect for your party in Capel
There is no kitchen to clear up afterwards, which makes the morning after much easier.

What else we do in Capel
Should I sort the food myself?
