About the food

Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
