The board

Classic takeaway on the Central Promenade.

What we fry is on the board. What you wait with is the sea.

The fry

Battered haddock

The classic on the Central Promenade — crisp batter, hot from the fryer, wrapped for the walk.

The chips

Hand-cut chips

Cut here, fried here. Salt and vinegar at the counter — take them to the sea wall.

The rest of the board sits beside the haddock. Ask at the counter for today's run.

The fryers

Golden haddock & hand-cut chips.

Hot fat, crisp golden batter, and potatoes chipped in house. Straight onto the draining rack, salted, wrapped, and handed over hot across the counter.
