Relax on the lawned sunbathing area by the flower-shaped pool, then break for a picnic or hot salty chips from the pavilion café.

I'm delighted that winkles, whelks, cockles and clams are regaining their popularity, even if they're often accompanied by a hot parcel of salty chips.

With ham, egg and chips you've got the crispy, salty chips, sweet, salty ham and that egg yolk that's the sauce for both chips and ham.

Salty chips are perfect before, during or after drinking: not only do they absorb alcohol, they give a sugar and salt kick that can help with the recovery process.

I sometimes serve this as a main course with butterhead lettuce and hot, salty chips.
