Cod & Chips paired with BC Honey Lager or Four Poles Pale Ale

Our signature Cod & Chips feature the finest, wild-caught cod from Natural Gift Seafoods, harvested from the pristine waters of British Columbia. Each fillet is hand-selected for its tender, flaky texture and naturally sweet flavour, then perfectly fried to a crispy, golden finish.

To elevate this simple yet satisfying dish, we pair it with our house-brewed BC Honey Lager and Four Poles Pale Ale—each an ode to the natural beauty of our region.

Pairing 1: The BC Honey Lager is a crisp, smooth beer with a subtle sweetness derived from locally sourced honey. Its light, refreshing taste and honeyed finish offer a delicate balance that enhances the delicate, flaky cod while cutting through the richness of the golden batter.

Pairing 2: For those who crave something with a bit more hop character, the Four Poles Pale Ale is a bold yet approachable option. With vibrant citrus notes and a light bitterness, it complements the richness of the fish, providing a refreshing contrast and bringing a crisp, clean finish to each bite.

Together, these flavours create a perfect harmony, celebrating the best of BC’s waters and terroir. It’s more than a meal—it’s a taste of the wild and beautiful landscapes that inspire us.

Savour the essence of BC with every bite and every sip.

Local producers: Natural Gifts Seafoods – Cod (BC), Fern + Cedar Brewing (Qualicum Beach).

Feature price: $23 + tax – 1 Piece Cod and Chips

Suggested pairing: $7.00 for a sleeve | $8.50 for a pint
