February Fish Fridays - not just any old fish and chips!

Like many British eateries, we regularly serve fish and chips to our diners. This national favourite is served in our Dining Hall, which has been designed to reflect the traditional Barlaston workers’ canteen.  And, keeping with tradition, we pride ourselves on lovingly preparing home-made ingredients.  Our tartar sauce, mushy peas and gluten free batter are all made from scratch – no tins or jars in sight!

Our sustainable cod fillets are solely from the North Atlantic and freshly battered (they can be grilled on request). Our chips are always hand cut, and triple cooked.

On each Friday in February, we are offering free bread and butter and a pot of tea for one with every large portion purchased. What yummier way to start the weekend?

If you want to have a go at making your own tartar sauce and gluten free batter, our Executive Chef has kindly shared his recipes with us.
