Sully’s Corner delivers a warm, soulful experience, with the Parcel earning raves as a must-try dish that feels like a comforting hug on a plate.
“This is the classic parcel — a bed of slap chips with fried fish, viennas, and Russian sausages, all seasoned with salt, chili, and vinegar. The chips are crispy on the edges and soft inside, and the whole thing is just messy and delicious. I love how everything is shaken together, and that chili and vinegar combo is incredible. It's dangerously tasty — you'll want to eat your fingers.”

Parcel
This is the classic parcel — a bed of slap chips with fried fish, viennas, and Russian sausages, all seasoned with salt, chili, and vinegar. The chips are crispy on the edges and soft inside, and the whole thing is just messy and delicious. I love how everything is shaken together, and that chili and vinegar combo is incredible. It's dangerously tasty — you'll want to eat your fingers.
Masala Gravy Parcel
This version comes in a box to contain the liquid — it's the same concept but with a beef masala gravy poured all over. The chips get soggy with that gravy, which is exactly what you want. The spices, the beef, the masala — it all fits together perfectly. It's one of those dangerously tasty dishes you'd have to refrain from eating too often. I've never had a combination like that — Vienna hot dogs with chips drenched in gravy, all in one box.
Nick Hammond Sandwich
This is Nick's own creation — a massive toasted sandwich with spiced slap masala chips, polony, steak, cheese, red onion, gherkin, all in a toasted bun. It's more than a burger — it's a work of art, a feat of engineering. The chips are seasoned with chili, there's a nice vinegary kick, and the bun is just there to hold it together. You have to put your whole face into it. I really love the chips — they're the common factor in all the dishes here.
