Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
