Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
