Poisson Frites

Our joint venture with David and Suzanne of "Fish and Chips" started last night. They run a mobile chippie six nights a week normally parking up in town centre car parks for the Brits to come and get their fix. This is fine on a nice warm evening but on a cold or damp night the option of standing out eating your chips, or taking them home in the car with the resultant smell, means that customers stay away.

We offer the best of both worlds, fresh fish and chips and a place to eat them. The chippie sells take away as before but if a customer wishes to eat here, their meal is served on a plate and they take a seat in the bar or on the terrace. There is no extra charge for the plate or the seat but they feel obliged to buy a drink or three.

First night, with little advertising was very pleasing.

Our challenge now is to get the French eating Ce plat traditionnel britannique sera disponible à la vente à emporter ou à consommer au Bar les Tilleuls tous les lundi de 19h30 à 20h.30 sur le parking municipal.

The chippie will now be here every Monday evening from February to December
