Our front page this month’s depicts the

brand new formed tray from those lovely

folk at Friar’s Pride. It is 100% recyclable,

great for portion control and is very

resilient too.

Also once again it’s the launch of the

annual fish and chip awards. With massive

rewards for the winners (and finalists) we

give you full details of how to get involved.

On May 27th the Italian Chippers get

together in Ireland and between them

amass over 200,000 customers on a

Wednesday into their shops with the help

of a mermaid!

It was great to see so many people at the

recent Innovations show at Bolton. VA

Whitely were hosts and I must say the

Chippy Chat team loved every minute

(especially the Saturday night).

T he site comprises a takeaway downstairs by the fish preparation area and their own dedicated Rockfish

training academy, where staff will be trained in the high standards and values of the company.

Upstairs, with unrivalled views of the inner harbour and the Bay is the restaurant with seating indoors and outside for 170 diners. There is also a bar where diners can enjoy a pre or post meal drink.

All open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner with the takeaway downstairs also open for breakfast Monday to Friday 7 -11am.

Mitch said, “Since visiting Sydney fish market some years ago, it has been a dream of mine to open a fish restaurant right where the fish is sourced, on the fish market! And living in Brixham myself, looking out towards the fish market and regularly buying at the market I’ve always wanted to open right here, just 3 meters away from where the boats land their fish. We’ve been quite overwhelmed by the amount of interest and support we’ve had from our customers and from locals but also further afield, which has been really encouraging.

For the first time we will be serving breakfast Monday to Friday from 7am from the takeaway, recreating the atmosphere of the European fish markets where market workers and the general public meet and chat. Good Luck Mitch!

The juiciest question we get asked is “How do you stand out in this heavily saturated market of take-aways? Why have you lasted whilst others haven’t?” Sadly there is no magic formula, but, I can tell you about my experiences and

what I have learned over the years.

I was married into FoodCraft 12 years ago. To me, at the time, it was “just a chippy”, but as the years have gone by,

I’ve watched customers come in and be reminded of “Old Winsford,” and “Old Values.” I’ve heard customers beam, countless times, “I remember being in here as a child and it looks just the same!” And at the forefront of every one of these comments was, and still is, nostalgia.

For over 55 years we at Foodcraft have relished in our history, and the history of our industry. We love nostalgia.

With the world moving ahead so fast, businesses are losing their identities and roots. Businesses that look at what everyone else is doing and subconsciously copy it. They’ll make their shops look the same, newsletters look the same, websites looks the same and even the menus!

Obviously while it’s important to know the competition — you also need to stop looking at them at a certain point and go your own way. Our approach to everything “FoodCraft” is to look

inwards, not outwards. We don’t pay attention to “the guy down the road” as he’s not us.

If you walked into FoodCraft today, you will see more or less the same as what our customers did 55 years ago because so little has changed. You will be eating the same home-made pies, made in the same way, and served fish and chips that are prepared and fried the same way.

Furthermore, the menu is more or less the same. We focus on what we’ve always focused on; Fish, Chips and Pies. To us having a massive variety of products can be counterproductive. Variety does not make you different. Quality does.

Another area where business really needs to stand out is online. No, it’s not as important as word of mouth, but considering that over 88% of customers hit the website/facebook page before deciding to visit, is pretty darn close! Having a good brand can (and this is from experience) get you a sale you otherwise wouldn’t have got!

By Samantha Finney - Foodcraft.Winsford

Back to the Future!


Clearly social media and branding requires a different approach. This wasn’t around when FoodCraft was young! But again, we had to produce something that we could enjoy and take pride in.

I made the rookie mistake to try and replicate others. It went horribly. I hated the site, I hated the branding, it wasn’t us and worst of all, you could tell! I had to change it!

I wanted an engaging and integral online life and we do this by posting everyday on our social media sites, asking and answering questions. We run big and small competitions, give customers a glimpse into our personal lives and behind the scene workings. We also have cartoon versions of our-selves! The staff, customers and even we get a bit of a kick out of seeing them! And it gives that instant recognition too!

If working alongside my husband John, his brother Christopher and my parents in laws, John and Iris, has taught me anything over the past 12 years, it is this. FoodCraft isn’t “Just a chippy,” It’s a living breathing thing that has looked after us, more than we have it. It has given us happy memories, introduced us to new friends, given us our homes, our lifestyle, and made us a stronger family. We are proud of FoodCraft and everything it represents and THAT is what truly makes it stand the test of time.

“We give customers a glimpse into our personal lives and behind the scene workings“

On Sunday 14th June 2015 it’s time once again for one of the industry days of the year as one of the most well respected range suppliers KFE throws opens its doors to the trade for the second time this year.

Then meet Gordon Hillan where you can watch their High Efficiency Kiremko range in action before tasting the end result.

They also have Industry Representatives from Kerry Foods, Drywite T Quality and The CF Group offering advice on their product lines.

Stuart Fusco Quayside Whitby National Fish and Chip Awards Winner 2014 said.

“I’ve been with KFE now for over three years. The most important thing for us is their level of service and knowledge of the industry. The finish of the products is first class and the ranges are built to a very high standard”. “Training is excellent too as are their open days where you can try before you buy. Recently I visited their factory in Holland and I was impressed with their innovation and development work too.”

Winning the national title for the flagship Best Independent Takeaway Award category was not only the realisation of a personal goal that I have had for many years, but a life-changing experience with amazing subsequent opportunities opening in all directions. Winning the 2013 Good Catch Award was great recognition for the passion we have at The Bay for the industry’s future and the importance of responsible sourcing.

Calum Richardson, The Bay, Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire.

http://thebayfishandchips.co.uk/ The National Fish & Chip Awards are the ultimate showcase for our wonderful industry and I would strongly recommend that the owners of all ambitious and progressive fish and chip shops and restaurants enter the competition. I have been involved with the competition, entering a number of categories over the

years, and I have seen my sales increase as a direct result of being a regional finalist in the main award category on two occasions and by also winning the Good Catch and Best Independent Restaurant Award categories. Seafish is the organiser of the entire competition and their support for the fish and chip market, through the National Fish & Chip Awards is tremendous and their support should be appreciated and exploited! The fish and chip market will continue to face severe competition from a broad spectrum of other takeaway food markets, therefore the positive publicity that you can generate for your business, by entering the awards and by taking advantage of publicity opportunities, will help you to increase your sales in the intensely competitive market place for takeaway food.

“130 years later and the Irish Italian tradition of a ‘one and one’ is still going strong,” said ITICA chairman,

Peter Borza. “ITICA National Fish & Chips Day continues to grow in popularity with members reporting longer queues each year.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to highlight our heritage and importantly, thank our local communities for their on-going support and custom. We look forward to another busy,

but fun day on Wednesday 27 May and would remind people to look out for the ITICA logo when joining the celebrations.”

Last year over 200,000 people visited the shops for fish and chips making it the most successful yet!

Established in December 2009 and now with over 180 members throughout the country, ITICA was created to promote and build on the traditional values and ethos of the Irish Italian chipper community. In its first six months, ITICA launched National Fish & Chips Day to celebrate the tradition of fish and chips.

The Irish Italian chipper culture was started by members of the Irish Italian community who arrived in Ireland from the villages in Val Di Comino in southern Italy in the 1880s.

ITICA make a Splash!The 180 plus members of the Irish

Traditional Italian Chippers Association (ITICA) will be offering their customers half price fish and chips on 27 May 2015, which

has been designated the sixth annual National Fish & Chips Day.

Win One here...WE have teamed up with Testo to give one lucky Chippy Chat reader the chance to win a brand new 270 Cooking Oil Tester from Testo with an RRP of £365.00 To enter to win a cooking oil tester from Testo, please answer the question below:In cooking oil analysis, what does the abbreviation “TPM” stand for?Send your answers to [email protected] . Or - Chippy Chat, Testo Comp, Oak Lane, Littleport, Ely, Cambridgeshire, CB6 1RS

Oil Change? No Pressure!

Cooking oil develops its best potential between 14 and 20% TPM. If the oil is too old, it shows an increased TPM

value, and deep-fried goods of inferior quality are produced. It can furthermore contain substances which present a risk to health. Regular measurement with the testo 270 prevents this. The use of the measuring instrument also prevents the wastage of cooking oil due to too early replacement. It could reduce cooking oil consumption by up to 20%.

Stuart Atkinson (owner of North Street Chip Shop Forfar) says “I have been using a Testo in my shop for 3 years now, it takes all the guess work and subjectivity out of oil management, just like a thermometer for oil quality. I wouldn’t fry without thermostats and thermometers and now I wouldn’t try to manage my oil quality without a Testo.”

Safety in daily useThe strength of the probe shaft has been considerably improved over the previous model. In addition to this, the new cooking

oil tester has more robust connections between the housing, the probe shaft and the sensor. Cleaning it under running water is no problem – ideal for use in fish and chip shops and fast food chains.

Significantly reduces costsExtensive practical tests by Testo engineers have demonstrated that regular measurement with the Testo 270 can reduce your consumption of cooking oil by up to 20%.

That means with a consumption of 1,000 litres per year and assuming a price of 50 p per litre, this allows upto £1,280 to be saved annually.

The Testo 270 measures the Total Polar Material (TPM) content in the cooking oil, which is a sure indicator of its quality.

Research suggests that certain types of music can bring out specific flavours - including sweet, salty and

bitter - in a range of foods.The intensity of Nessun Dorma,

performed by Luciano Pavarotti, is said to be the perfect accompaniment to dark mouse or coffee. Meanwhile, the high-pitched piano in Billie Holiday’s Autumn in New York can help emphasise the autumnal flavour of a pumpkin pudding.

Listening to the right sort of music, including the Beatles can enhance flavours in certain food and drink.

In Ultraviolent restaurant in Shanghai, fish and chips are served up to a backdrop of the Beatles. Kota’s Kitchen also in Shanghai offers The Beatles and Japanese comfort food – It’s a venue where you really need to be a Beatles fan, as it’s the only music you’ll hear.

Professor Charles Spence, a behavioural psychologist from Oxford University

said that humans tend to match the same sounds to the same tastes.

He described sourness as ‘high-pitched’, meaning it should be played alongside music of the same quality. He also said sweetness is associated with richer sounds, while bitterness is linked to deeper tones.

He believes the sound associated with salty - which he has not yet pinned down - would be enhanced by a throbbing type of sound.

‘Bitter, sweet, sour - we have those,’ says Professor Charles Spence, ‘But salty is the hardest taste to embody in sound.’

With zero hydrogenated fats and less than 1% trans fat, it is time to drill down on your questions when

it comes to this high-quality, great value 100% vegetable oil.

What makes FriWite different to other oils?Lorenzo Andreucci of Central Chippy who converted to FriWite after winning a free trial from the Q Partnership, “I was reluctant to change my oil at first, but since I tried it, I haven’t looked back. I find that my food is crispier and the flavour is fantastic. I am very pleased with it and now I can’t imagine using anything else”

Not to mention the great value that it represents from pocket to pan, enabling you to save money without compromising on the highest of quality.

Why is it called ‘FriWite’?You will notice the whiteness every time you open a box and whilst frying – this is due to the refinement process, where most of the palm oil colour is removed, creating the name, ‘FriWite’.

Will my food taste different?Jose Rodrigues of Vegas Fish Bar saw positive feedback from customers straight away, “they love the taste of the food, commenting that it is crispier and a

lot lighter in colour – just how they like it”.This result is down to specifically sourced

raw materials, involving carefully selected ingredients to enhance FriWite’s quality and purity.

OIL Change? Think inside this box!Pure, light, and cost effective – a few of the many benefits that has seen fish friers throughout the UK switching to FriWite.

How does FriWite compare to the oil I am using now? You may have heard of the term ‘Rancimat Test’. This industry-standard test involves heating an oil to 120˚C and calculating the number of hours it takes for the oil to break down. FriWite was put to the test and not only proved itself to have as long a frying life as other leading brands, but out performed rapeseed and sunflower oil by 3x (Source: AAK Ltd). This enables FriWite to add an extended frying life to its list of qualities.

Lorenzo was very pleased with the performance, “I’ve definitely noticed a difference in how much longer its frying life is. Even towards the end, there is no foaming and it still has a pleasant smell.”

Simon Hunter of Barnby Fish and Chips was equally impressed, “FriWite has exceeded my expectations in terms of its quality. It lasts longer and withstands high temperatures very well.”

With over 70 exhibitors for the 2015 exhibition VA Whitely promised us their biggest

and best show yet and we weren’t disappointed!

Proudly taking our place two doors down from the governors (NFFF), and one from the next generation (Young Fish Friers) was the Chippy Chat and Isle of Ely Produce team.

After a night of ‘celebration’ on the

Saturday night at the marvellous Premier Suite overlooking the Bolton Wanderers pitch (you know who you are) I had half hoped for a slow start to proceedings as the show started at 10am.

But we were busy from the off, and the exhibition aisles were soon full of people all clambering to find the latest invention and chat to a kaleidoscope of experts from across scores of sectors that make up our industry.

Mike Wallace (Sales Director) V A Whitley & Co said “We are very pleased with the turnout for this event, we had high numbers of visitors all day, and many stands taking good orders as a result.”

VA VA BOOM!

By Austen Dack

It was show time recently in Bolton as the North’s Premier Fish and Chips and Fast Food Exhibition

‘Innovations’ came to town.


We would like to thank all stand holders and visitors for coming and making this one of our best shows todate.”

Well Mike I echo that statement and I would like to add a note of thanks from Chippy Chat for the whole teams efforts to make this event happen. A special mention to Chairman Tony Rogers too who not only ran the prize draw with aplomb but gave me a great ditty for a future issue too.

We gained more members of Chippy Chat +, signed new trade partners for Chippy Chat and also introduced GreatBritishChippy to the show at the Macron Stadium Bolton - our goals were smashed!

There were a lot of familiar faces, and a whole batch of new ones

With so many free samples up for grabs no one visiting Innovations need leave hungry

A lot of the big names set their stalls out to grab your attentionMany got the chance to catch

up with old friends

A couple of young ladies grabbed a cuddly fish.

Later our intrepid Editor caught him having a good read.


At Fish Lovers on Whiteladies Road hake and pollock are just two of the treats on the menu.

It also serves up specials including barramundi, and at around £5 a piece the Australian version of fish and chips is a favourite of restaurant owner, Ghunnan Narmani.

He said: “It is Australia’s cod when it comes to fish and chips and so I often have it as a special. Personally I love it. People tend to say they will try it when someone buys it.

“It always works well as it’s a really chunky piece of fish. It is a big fish – like tuna – and so you always get a good serving. I really enjoy it.”

Farrow’s Fish and Chips in Totterdown has huss on its menu – also known as rock salmon. According to the shop, the white fish, which costs £3.20 is becoming more popular as more customers are willing to try it.

Jonathan Farrow, who works at the shop, said: “I have been serving huss since I started in this business 25 years ago and I have stuck with it.

“If you go to London or the east coast

it’s very popular there. It has a bit of a cult following in Bristol. It’s a fish with a different flavour.”

Jonathan said unusual fish becomes more popular when the price of cod goes up. He said: “When prices of cod rise people look elsewhere on the menu. Over the years we have also served New Zealand hoki and a white fish called basa.”

Clifton Village Fish Bar also serves up some more unusual versions of fish and chips – featuring mackerel and sea bass on its menu.

A spokeswoman for the shop said: “Sea bass is the most popular and costs £4.30. It is very nice and definitely worth a try. We sell a lot of hake as well – that is a very thick fish and people love it. It is good to see people trying new things.”

Fish Shape &

Bristol Fashion

As the nation’s taste buds crave new twists on the traditional English

flavours – barramundi, huss, sea bass and calamari are now being served

up by some Bristol chip shops.

Just like Arkwright - Smiffy’s Chippy in Hastings clocks up an

incredible 89 hours a week .

They are open from 11.00 till 11.00 on Mondays to Wednesdays and then until 4.00 a.m on Thursday and

until 5.00 a.m on Friday and Saturday. The shop is perfectly located less than five minutes from both the town centre and the beach and in the heart of the club area. This creates three different market opportunities which Remzi Tanriverdi and his team are keen to embrace.

Product choice varies between the different markets. The daytime trade is mainly focussed on fish and chips whilst the late night trade tends to be sausages, nuggets and chips.

Remzi, who has seen a substantial increase in turnover in the last three years, puts his success down to a few reasons but top of the list is consistent quality.

“ We have a core staff of four people, myself, my wife and two experienced friers. At least two of us are always in the shop and we are the only people who fry. This means that whatever time a customer comes into our shop he will receive the same quality food prepared by experienced staff.”

To maintain standards over such long hours Remzi only uses quality ingredients. He carefully selects his cod which is frozen at sea; he uses Maris Pipers and buys at the top end of the range to give his customers quality chips. “ The oil is the key ingredient because over the hours we obviously hammer it. We need the top quality oil so we use Frymax which can take the pressure of our business and always gives us consistently good food.”

Email [email protected] if you are open for longer?

The UK’s No. 1 Independent Fish & Chip Restaurant always fries in


The Love Shack!

The Fish Shack, The GLOWBAL COLLECTION’s laid-back eatery, has been open for around 2 years.

“BOX Interior Design” led the revamp with a nod to the nautical. Marine-blue walls are offset by cool green tiling. Red upholstered banquettes conjure the look of vintage lifejackets. And the chalkboard walls are perfect for sharing fish facts alongside daily features.

“We’re happy to be part of the sea change that’s making this area a draw for food and entertainment,” says Emad Yacoub, GLOWBAL COLLECTION Proprietor. “Fish Shack’s satisfying, unfussy and fun. We hope people love it.”

Staying true to the restaurant’s name, the menu offers up seafood favourites, such as: Fish and Chips – Halibut, Lingcod, Salmon, Haddock, Snapper, Oyster or Prawns, paired up with crunchy coleslaw in a variety of fresh flavours; Mussels or Clam ‘Steamers’ simmered in a trio of sauces; Burgers – Kentucky Fried Oyster or Blackened Snapper; Cajun Fish Tacos; Prawn Louie Salad; Fried Whole Trout; and Spag and Prawn Meatballs.

Guests may need a bigger boat after sinking their teeth into the following dishy highlights:

+ Daily Buck-a-Shuck Oysters+ Lobster and Crab Fest Sundays:

This month for ‘Chip Shop Abroad’ we travel to Vancouver the third largest city in Canada. From the fisherman’s ship to the Granville Street strip – here, the seafood is as fresh as the crowd. So roll up your sleeves, tie on a bib, grab a mallet and dig in – The Fish Shack has arrived.

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • May 201536


+ The Fisherman’s Catch: A fresh medley of seafood including Dungeness crab, snow crab, mussels, prawns, calamari and crayfish, released from the net right before guests’ eyes. Small Catch, $20 per person. Big Catch, $30 per person. Minimum of two people.

+ Weekend Brunch: 10:30 am – 3 pm Saturday and Sunday. Lobster and Eggs, Prawn Frittata, Dungeness Crab Benny and Carrot Cake French Toast are amidst the many tempting dishes

One recent review on Trip Adviser clearly loved their meal“Great food and atmosphere - Outstanding friendly service!”

My wife and I wanted to go out for seafood on our last trip to downtown Vancouver, and saw that the Fish Shack had many great reviews, so we decided to go try it out. Good

decision, the friendly service started when we were seated by the hostess and manager and continued when we were greeted at the bar, where we sat, by the server and the oyster shucker...great guys ! We were offered the oyster special - a buck an oyster - and they were fantastic!! Coupled with cold beer and a specialty Caesar, we were off to a good start. I had the halibut and my wife had the “dining out” special and both were awesome - the meals going to the other tables also looked great ( I will try the “Big Catch” next time). The service continued to be great throughout the evening and the price was very reasonable. I will return to the Fish Shack on my next visit and highly recommend it.

Field to Young Friers!

The 2015 ‘Young Fish Friers’ finalists all met up at Isle of Ely (and Chippy Chat) HQ, - Rachel Tweedale - Winner

of ‘Young Frier of the Year’ (Elite Fish & Chips, Lincoln), Ryan Hughes (Crispy Cod, Porth), Jonny Leech, (Garstang, Preston), James Houlston, (Our Plaice, Hagley) and colleague Joe Round (Our Plaice, Hagley), along with Austen Dack, Chippy Chat Publishing Editor, Tom Wright, Procurement and Trading Manager, Matthew Grindling, Fieldsman/Technical.

The aim of the day was to give the Drywite Young Fish Friers an insight into the journey of the potato - from growing, storing, grading and packing - from field to frier!

After a quick briefing of the day in the meeting room, they split into two teams.

They were met in the field by Pete Legge and each team got the opportunity to ride on a tractor and get involved in the process of planting the seed potatoes. On the ground the teams were given a talk on crop management from the different variety, the spacing of the seeds in the

ground, the correct temperature and how the breakdown of the soil affects the size and growth of the potato.

The next stop was P J Lee and Sons. We were met in the field by Christopher Lee and given an in-depth talk of the growing process used by their farm. A farm tour followed of the temperature controlled storing facilities and the grading and bagging process.

After a break for lunch back at Isle of Ely, they were then given an opportunity to try their hand at grading, overseen by MD Oliver Boutwood. It was then off to the QC lab to get involved with some frying!

Oliver said “The day was a tremendous success, it was an opportunity to show them the potato industry and the role that Isle of Ely Produce play, they got to see first hand the journey from the planting the potato seed to frying the potato. After the success of today we will definitely be repeating it next year with the next Drywite Young Fish Friers”

Rachel Tweedale, Winner of Drywite

It was a glorious day, the sun was shining and farmers were up and out early planting the seed potatoes for this year’s chip shop crop.

Following the route form field to frier

By Amanda Waterfield


Young Frier of the Year 2015 said “What a brilliant day spent at the Isle of Ely Produce. Potatoes are a staple product in our industry so having the opportunity to learn about the processes involved in ensuring the growth of a top quality product was fantastic. We spent the first part of the day visiting a farm, where we got the chance to hop on the tractor and see the seeds as they were being planted. A visit to P J Lee & Sons showed us what happens to the potatoes once they have been harvested.

On our return to the Isle of Ely we had the opportunity to offer our perspective as Young Friers on what we thought passed the grade as a good quality chipping potato by working on the grading line.

From start to finish, we all had a brilliant, insightful and informative day. The level of commitment and investment made to producing top quality chipping potatoes is incredible and hats off to the farmers and everyone involved for doing such a brilliant job. Big thank you to the Isle of Ely for your hospitality and for offering this opportunity to us.

Jonny Leech said - “Being able to see first-hand the planning, effort, time and skill involved in planting potatoes was amazing. It’s reassuring to see that the growers of potatoes are just as passionate about their finished product as we are; growing great potatoes means we can serve great chips!”

“Isle of Ely Produce are simply fantastic

hosts and made the day educational and enjoyable, not always an easy combination to achieve! I would urge everyone to attend their open day. The knowledge they have and can pass on is invaluable and means you can take a new understanding and appreciation of potatoes back to your shop.”

The Isle of Ely Produce open day for fish and chip shop owners managers and key suppliers is on Monday September 7th and is open to Chippy Chat + members first (it is FREE) email [email protected] for more details or If you would like to sponsor the event this year. For more information see June issue of Chippy Chat.

Over two years ago the team at Isle of Ely Produce sat down to decide how they could help promote fish

and chip shops in the UK. John and Oliver Boutwood were adamant that in order for us to sustain and eventually grow our market place we would need to work together. It was then we came up with the idea for this national platform for fish and chips.

It will be a place where consumers can learn about our national dish, somewhere we can link to other national companies, and a site we can create a fish and chip collective as big as the national chains of fast food providers. Somewhere we can promote the admirable work done by the likes of the Potato Council with chip week, Seafish celebrating the nation’s best, or even highlight the wonderful NFFF Q award holders.

It will capture the tradition of fish and chips and seek to tempt in some of the 32 million people who flood into the UK on holiday into your shops.

It will encompass Twitter, Facebook and Online to start is www.greatbritishchippy.co.uk . It will have a fresh crisp and funky design.

Although the concept has launched greatbritishchippy will be developed over the next few months with your help. We already have some great people who want to be involved. We are seeking partners (trade) and owners to help us build and create this platform. We are looking to have regular meetings with a team of people who will decide who, what and where to target once we launch to the consumer. We understand that individual shops work well in their market places, but feel there is a gap to promote our cherished brand (inter)nationally.

This team will represent the whole industry and we are looking for people to come forward and join us.

Greatbritishchippy is looking to promote fish and chips to new markets and capitalise on PR and promotional opportunities throughout the year.

Lots of shops and suppliers have already called to show their support. It is free for shops but we are looking for sponsors.

Please mail me at [email protected] if you would like to be involved

By Austen Dack

Reaction to our (trade) launch of greatbritishchippy a new concept for fans of

fish and chips and owners of fish and chip shops alike has been really great.

He has produced Scotland’s first potato vodka just three months ago has won a double gold medal

and sliver for at the prestigious 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Graeme Jarron, from Hatton of Ogilvy farm in Angus, produces 2,000 bottles of Ogilvy Vodka a month, which sells at £34.99

Mr Jarron, founder of Ogilvy Spirits, decided to branch out into the highly competitive vodka world after becoming disappointed at the low prices he was offered for his potatoes.

He also realised that the key ingredients

for the new venture – Maris Piper potatoes and water from the Ogilvy burn – were already on site.

“A group of students helped me do some research into the possibility of using Scottish potatoes to produce vodka. The results were positive and after working on a feasibility study and business plan with the SAC we decided to take the plunge.”

The result is a vodka which can be drunk on its own with a few cubes of ice and a slice of pear.

Paul Waterson, chief executive of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, said

“People are reacting against bigger brands and want home-grown products. They are in effect “drinking less, but drinking better” and want something unrecognizable with a bit of character to experiment with.”

From Field to... Barman!IT IS the potato of choice for many friers but

we’ve found a farmer who has found another use for this versatile potato...

Award Winning Fish & Chip Shop Available for Sale in Warwick!

Bruce & Co. are pleased to present the sale of The Pot and Fin; a wonderful Fish and Chip Restaurant

and Take Away, occupying a prime trading position in Warwick, Warwickshire.

The business, since its operation, has established an enviable reputation; especially during the present ownership for offering the finest fresh cuisine. This is evident by the number of awards it has won, such as being the winner of ‘Hospitality Business of the Year, 2013’ by Touch FM and Route 66, and being rated the top 25 Fish and Chip Restaurant in the UK - awarded in 2014, by Seafish Authority.

The Shop is located on a bustling main road in the centre of the town, next to Café Nero and other independent and high street retailers. The business therefore receives a high level of passing trade, enjoying a healthy turnover. Given that over one million tourists visit Warwick each year, the restaurant benefits from tourist trade – again ultimately adding to the profitability of the business. The restaurant is favourably recommended by the local tourist board and is even on the main free map of the town which is given to tourists.

The business operates from an imposing mid- terraced three storey property; offering plenty of space. The shop is immaculately fitted throughout, and is presented to a very high standard.

The Pot and Fin provides potential owner’s with an exciting opportunity to acquire a first class Fish and Chip Shop; benefiting from its established and highly renowned reputation, whilst developing the business and ultimately improving profitability. For example, the opening hours can be increased and a delivery service could be introduced. Currently, the shop is open from Tuesday to Saturday, from midday to 2pm, and again from 5pm to 8pm. An alcohol licence would also hugely increase profits.

This is a truly first class business opportunity and viewing is therefore highly recommended to avoid disappointment.

The business is for sale on a leasehold basis, for offers in the region of £35,000. If you require any further information on this business please do not hesitate to contact us on 0844 7011 823, quoting the reference 42432. To find out more details about the businesses available

Whether you’re on the move, or building an empire, take the first step on your journey here

Historically the building has been a fish & chip shop for over

40 years and our client took over the business over ten years ago. This well established fish and chip shop provides traditional freshly prepared food alongside a variety of refreshments. It provides warm and friendly customer service and solely trades on word of mouth recommendation. Already presented to an exceptionally high standard, a potential new buyer would have an excellent setup to start with immediately.

LocationThe business is located in Goole in East Yorkshire and occupies a prominent position right in the middle of busy residential area. It is located very close to the M62 and local train station. There are local schools nearby and ample parking for customers.

Trading HoursSunday, Monday, Tuesday: Closed Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 11.00am till 1.00pm 4.00pm till 6.00pm Saturday: 1.00am till 1.00pm

PremisesThe premise occupies a prominent corner position with a single entrance. Entering business is the main serving area which is kept in immaculate condition with fridges and fryers. To the far right hand side of the premises there is a large prep room and plenty of storage and to the rear is a W/C.

TenureOur client has advised that the property is leasehold and rent is payable of £150 per week.

CustomersThe business carries out very little external advertising, instead relying upon its loyal client base, local businesses and passing trade. The business serves a high percentage of the local residents in Goole and surrounding areas.

Financial ProfileW/T £800 - £1,000

Scope & DevelopmentOur client is currently working limited hours but a new owner has the opportunity to open extra days and increase profit. The business is set as a traditional English chip

shop but there is potential to increase the business turnover by introducing new foods such as kebabs, pizzas, Chinese and Curries. The business does not do any advertising. There is potential by creating online advertising, leaflets and advertising in the local papers/magazines.

Reason for SaleOur client is offering the business for sale due to retirement.

StaffOur client is active in the business full time with the assistance of 2 part time staff.
