A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

What else we do in Culham
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
