What makes the perfect chip?
Fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside doesn’t happen by chance. Each month our team will sample dozens of varieties of locally grown potatoes, to see which will meet our guests preference best. This process is dependent on strong team work between the local farms and our chefs, as well as scientific knowledge and precision when preparing and cooking the chips.
