About the food
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes

What affects the price in Fickleshole
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
