A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Flag coeliac guests early
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
