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.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Amberley, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
