I don't understand the question. ;-)

But having said that, could I add peppercorn sauce and fries, please? (It appears that they have both fries and chips, and if I'm understanding the difference correctly the "fries" should be long, thin, and similar to McDonald's, while the "chips" are thicker and more potatoey like what we might call steak fries in the US.)

Your understanding is correct.
