On the plate

What comes with the Freshly Battered Cod and Chips

  1. 01

    Cod fillet

    The substantial, responsibly sourced cod fillet provides moist, tender white fish that flakes beneath the crisp coating.

  2. 02

    Golden batter

    A light, crisp golden batter adds a salty crunch that contrasts with the delicate fish inside.

  3. 03

    Thick-cut chips

    A generous helping of thick-cut chips makes this a substantial plate alongside the battered cod fillet.

  4. 04

    Choice of peas

    Traditional mushy peas or sweet garden peas complete the plate, giving you a choice of accompaniment.

The dish

What the Freshly Battered Cod and Chips is like

The main appeal is the contrast between crisp, salty batter and moist, flaky cod. A light golden coating gives the freshly fried fillet its crunch, while the thick white fish inside stays tender. This is a substantial serving rather than a small fish portion, with the delicate flavour of the cod set against the more assertive batter.

A generous heap of thick-cut chips makes the plate feel hearty. You can choose traditional mushy peas or sweet garden peas, depending on which accompaniment you prefer. The combination suits someone looking for familiar British pub food, with texture coming chiefly from the crisp coating and the flakes of fish beneath it.
