Hello, fellow chip-loving enthusiasts! We’re excited to share some fantastic news with you today. Our humble little fish and chip shop has achieved a remarkable feat, landing a spot in the prestigious Top 10 of the Field to Frier category of the National Fish and Chip Awards. It’s an incredible honour that we’re truly humbled by, and we couldn’t wait to tell you all about it.

For us, this journey all started with a shared passion for turning the humble potato into those golden, crispy, and utterly irresistible chips. We’ve always believed in the transformative power of a potato and the magic that happens in the kitchen when you pair it with our freshly cooked, flaky fish. Let’s dive into our story and share our knowledge and commitment to perfecting the art of fish and chips.

The Potato: A Humble Hero

Every batch of our chips begins with the potato, the unsung hero of the dish. We believe that the quality of the potato sets the foundation for outstanding chips. So, we source the finest potatoes and handle them with care. Our dedicated team meticulously prepare, rumble and cut each potato, ensuring uniformity and thickness, to achieve that perfect balance between crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

We also understand that different potato varieties have unique qualities, and we’ve experimented with various types to find the perfect match for our chips. Whether it’s Markies, Sagitta, Agria or Babylon, we’ve delved deep into the world of spuds to create chips that are unparalleled in flavour and texture.

The Art of Frying

Frying is where the magic truly happens. We use only the best quality, sustainably sourced fish, and our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop there. We’ve invested in state-of-the-art frying equipment that’s not only energy-efficient but also maintains a consistent temperature, resulting in chips that are golden, crispy, and never greasy. Our frying oil is carefully chosen and frequently filtered to maintain a clean, fresh taste in every batch.

To achieve perfection, we adhere to a strict frying time and temperature regimen. Our fish is cooked to perfection, with a light, crispy batter that complements the tender flakiness of the fish. Our chips are golden brown and lightly salted to enhance their natural flavours. Each portion we serve is a testament to our dedication to the art of frying.

Our Commitment to Quality

We’re committed to using the finest, responsibly sourced ingredients and supporting our community. We believe that exceptional fish and chips aren’t just about the taste; they’re about the experience. Our welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff create a memorable experience that keeps our customers coming back for more.

We also value feedback from our customers, constantly striving to improve and refine our recipes. It’s the continuous pursuit of excellence that has brought us to this point, earning a place among the Top 10 in the Field to Frier category of the National Fish and Chip Awards.

Thank You for Your Support

As we continue our journey, we promise to maintain our unwavering commitment to quality and flavour, so every visit to our humble fish and chip shop is a delightful experience.

While we’re thrilled to be recognised among the Top 10 in this category, our journey is far from over. We’re constantly looking for new ways to innovate and elevate the beloved classic that is fish and chips. Our journey started with a potato, and we’re excited to see where it takes us next.
