The latest news on Eddie ‘The Beast’ Hall’s challenge is he has retained his UK title of The Strongest Man at the Doncaster Dome. He said: “I gave it my all and I think I won by a good 10 points. I could have missed an event and still won so I’m pretty happy with that.” It is so important to me to keep improving on my weaknesses and my strengths. Thanks to all the people of Stoke-on-Trent who are behind me in my effort to win ‘The Worlds Strongest Man’ title later this year... Good luck Eddie from all at Blakeman’s too (and Chippy Chat)..

Tim and Kelly’s – Couple Scoop Golden Chip Oscar! By Austen Dack with Tim and Kelly Barnes

1) How long have you been running Krispies and tell us a little about your development? We have been running Krispies for 16 years. Over this time we have altered, adapted and adjusted to reflect the changing nature of our business. We have listened to our customers, learned from our colleagues in the industry and worked with our team to fine tune our product and our menu to really focus on our key successes and make the very best food we can. 2) What made you enter the ‘From Field to Frier’ award (National Fish and Chip Awards) and what processes helped you win? We have felt for some time that the attention we paid to our potatoes and our chip making process was special and what better of finding out if that was true than by being judged against your peers? We also felt this award was special because

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • April 2017

it champions the unrecognised element of Fish & Chips. We believe that investing time and money in our application form to ensure it clearly and professionally laid out our knowledge and understanding of potatoes and frying chips was a key factor in our success. 3) How did you feel in the room at the awards on the day before and after winning? We were really nervous, more nervous than we’ve ever been. We never go into things expecting to win but that didn’t stop us really wanting to win! What was very interesting is how different it felt being a finalist (we have never been shortlisted before) and how amazing it was having the recognition from the great and the good in the industry. 4) Do you realise that two out of the last four winners of field to frier have gone on to win the independent prize the

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • April 2017

-Heroes! following year (Frankies and Simpsons)? And we would like to be the third. But whatever happens we will still strive to make the very best Fish & Chips as long as we continue in this business. 5) How to you hope to capitlalise on the award win? Winning the From Field to Frier awards is not just about the day and the trophy it is about the whole year. People love chips and we wanted to take the opportunity to raise the profile of chips so we have lots of things planned to promote chips to consumers and the industry alike. Amongst the activities planned we will be appeared on the Isle of Ely stand at the Fry It Exhibition in Exeter in March, celebrating our win with our customers in April and launching a new marketing campaign to promote our chips in June. We will be proud to be ambassadors of potatoes and great chips for the whole of 2017. 6) Part of the prize was to present at the Isle of Ely Produce/Chippy Chat open day on September 17th are you looking

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine â&#x20AC;˘ April 2017

forward to doing this? Yes, we are really looking to talking to other people in the industry, passing on our knowledge and understanding of potatoes and how the humble chip has helped our business and our business profile. We will also look forward to learning from the other attendees (there is always something to learn) and generally getting fully immersed in chips!

Keep haddock on the menu. There are plenty more fish in our seas. Haddock’s been in the news recently. But, thanks to Norway’s scientifically managed fisheries, haddock stocks remain abundant in Norway’s cold clear waters. Which means there’s every reason to keep sustainable Norwegian haddock on the menu. Talk to your seafood supplier or visit seafoodfromnorway.co.uk

Norway’s North East Arctic haddock stocks are MSC certified as sustainable seafoodfromnorway.co.uk

Insurance of Champions Kingfisher Fish and Chips in Plymouth, Devon, the recently crowned No1 takeaway in Britain is the latest chippy to realise the benefits of taking out an insurance policy with the industry specialist, Wrapped

ingfisher Fish & Chips is almost unrecognisable from the business that Craig Maw and Nikki Mutton bought four years ago. Switching things up a gear from the minute the pair took over, they moved from pre-prepared chips to chipping and peeling their own potatoes, carried out a full refurbishment of the premises, installed a five pan high efficiency Kiremko frying range and put sustainability at the heart of the business. Wanting to protect the thriving business he and Nikki have built up, Craig recently started to question his insurance policy after speaking to a number of friers in the trade whose claims were not paid out due to inadequate or inappropriate cover. Craig comments: “Like most fish and chip shops, you just make the assumption that if there’s an incident, you’re covered. It wasn’t until we realised other shops had had fires and they later found out they weren’t covered that I sat up and started to take notice of the small print.” Aware that more top operators in the industry were turning to Wrapped for cover, an insurance policy which is specifically designed for fish and chip shops around its working practices, Craig looked into the policy and felt it was right for his business, working for him rather than against him. Wrapped also not only understood Craig’s business, but it also took note of the working

practices at Kingfisher and offered substantial discounts for demonstrating good practice, holding a 5 star Food Hygiene Rating for example as well as the NFFF Quality Award.

Discounts for best practice

Craig was able to secure a further discount with the admission that as of January his existing range and a new three pan range will both be fitted with ANSUL fire suppression systems. Craig adds: “At busy times, we’re maxed out on our existing five pan range, so we’ve ordered another Kiremko three pan to increase capacity and future-proof ourselves. Both will be fitted with ANSUL fire suppression systems as it gives us added reassurance. It’s always on the back of your mind that anything mechanical can still fail. If there is a fire in one of the pans, the fire suppression system will extinguish it with immediate effect. I heard a fact recently that 80% of business that suffer a serious fire either never re-open or they close within 18 months. With this system, there’s a 48 hour turnaround before we can use that pan again, which is pretty good because it’s not going to put us out of business.” Also fundamental to Craig’s decision to go with Wrapped was knowing that the cover he was purchasing is open to improvements and that, over time, it would become even more tailored to the sector than it already is. He adds: “The fish and chip industry is evolving, it’s getting better and more stringent, and it’s important that insurance companies evolve and move at the same time. A policy that was suitable six years ago may not be relevant now because things are changing. “I feel extremely confident in the fact that we are more covered and better covered now, without a shadow of a doubt.”

Other UK Champion Chip Shops already using Wrapped for their insurance include Frankies, Shetland and Calum Richardson at the Bay, Stonehaven

KFE the choice of even more top fish and chip shops! Catch Fish and Chips

atch Fish & Chips in Giffnock certainly don’t mess about when it comes to doing the business. The Celino family started the business a couple of years ago after 25 years in Italian restaurants. They still run the successful restaurant chain along with the new chain of Catch Fish & Chip shops which are building up very nicely, hardly surprising when they serve up fish and chips the way they do. Catch originally turned to KFE to install a range into the first site in Giffnock. Very soon they opened site two at Netherlee.

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • April 2017

Netherlee opened recently with the Kiremko range from the Giffnock site, the 2 year old Kiremko 3 pan quirky wall range was moved to the new site as Catch in Giffnock’s business had developed so quickly it was already in need for a larger Kiremko range. Giffnock ordered a new Kiremko 4 Pan Wall range which includes the new 35kw flat bottom chip pans and High Efficiency flat bottom fish pans. Both sites are looking amazing with the powder coated white wall ranges. The Celinos were delighted last year when they were judged the best Fish and Chip Restaurant in Scotland by Seafish in the National Fish & Chip Awards. Also important to the growth of the business is reinvesting back in to it, and over the years Robert’s reinvented the colour scheme, changed the shopfront and designed its own marketable brand complete with a new logo and website.

Close Partnerships pay dividends for Hewigo Customers Over the last few years Hewigo has concentrated on providing real value for money, both in initial price and running costs. A focus on quality build, modern design and efficiency has strengthened its relationship with a number of operators who are building chains of quality outlets delivering excellent food in strikingly designed outlets

hillip Purkiss, Managing Director of Hewigo UK says “Our flexible manufacturing has meant that these companies have been able to develop and sometimes experiment with their ranges knowing that Hewigo will support them every step of the way. As Mindy Singh whose family own the Queens chain says “It’s a godsend to have a company that doesn’t say no” Queens at Ibstock is the first customer to fit the new ‘Diamond’ front panels recently developed by Hewigo. “The new panels sharply reflect the colours coming down from the LED lighting to produce a stunning effect,” adds Mindy Singh. Equally stunning is a glass inlay into the counter top of a new range at Merchants, Redditch. The “shattered” glass that looks like sparkling crystal is lit from below by programmable LED. “The effect is so different from anything that I’ve seen before,” says Merchants Michael Jordon. “It also gives a warm feel to the top of the counter which customers have all commented on,” adds Jason Bate of Hewigo who designed the top. This range is also fitted with a stylish sloping front and ‘Diamond’ panels Over at Zan Fish in Derby where Nickos Zannetou now has six outlets, Hewigo has made it easier for Zan Fish to increase production at its Littleover shop. Such was the layout of the take-away/restaurant that it was not possible to increase the size of the new range to give 5 pans rather than 4. Through clever design Hewigo was able to manufacture a 4-pan range of virtually the same floor space but with larger pans. Coupled with Hewigo’s advanced high efficiency burners this produced a significant increase in cooking capacity. Atlantis at Quinton is another outlet to benefit from the Hewigo touch. It has an adjoining restaurant area and is fitted out in a way that does not in any way resemble the ‘usual’ fish and chip outlet. Nowhere to be seen are stainless steel front panels but instead blue herringbone style tiling. Wood finishing has been used including a wooden inlay into the top of the counter. When you add these developments to the fact that Hewigo is investing in excess of £200,000 into a dedicated service and maintenance unit including two new Service Engineers and a Service Administrator then you have an very attractive package “This will reduce downtime and ensure customers continue to get the support they need and demand ” adds Phillip Purkiss.

Mr. Brazao has been in the fish frying trade for many years and in fact he gained his experience in the early days from working on a ‘BLACKBURN’ frying range manufactured and supplied by my father. We were very pleased to renew our acquaintance when he approached us to supply a new frying range for his own premises. Naturally the modern ‘BLACKBURN’ frying range is quite different from that original, traditional type Mr. Brazao first used but the company itself, which is still family owned and run, remains faithful to our core beliefs of quality, service and reliability. Apart from the usual requirement of manufacturing a fish frying range to fit the dimensions of the premises, and here Mr. Brazao needed a 3 – pan, 1 – chip box, gas heated counter range, several variations to a standard ‘BLACKBURN’ counter range were stipulated. Firstly, rather than having 3 standard size fish racks two larger cabinets were called for – NO PROBLEM.

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • April 2017

Secondly, the shop name – ‘FRY DAYS’ was to be incorporated in the front design. As the panels were to be especially made with alternative vertical shiny and brush finish stainless steel stripes the centre panel was thus designed to be mainly brush finish stainless steel with the shop name engraved vertically on polished stainless steel. The overall result is a finely balanced appearance whilst accentuating the motif. – NO PROBLEM. Thirdly, an illuminated front was requested, although not standard blue lights. Could we do mood changing lights? Of course we can.... J.J. Blackburn & Co. has incorporated lights which can change colour, stay on a preferred single colour, (perhaps each day could have its own colour?) alongside other numerous options. In other words – the question is answered – NO PROBLEM. It is very pleasing to be able to accommodate our customer’s various requests and look forward to our next challenges!!!!!!!!!!

The Right Choice Choosing the right frying range for your shop is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your business so it’s essential to find the right people to help you with this. Hopkins, the UK’s leading manufacturer, have been building ranges for 60 years and each one is made to the customer’s exact specification.

he Generation 4 High Efficiency Range has just been improved yet again and now boasts the most intelligent controller on the market. This innovative technology adapts to your method of frying and monitors your usage all the time. It is the only range to offer ‘PID’ which means that temperatures are controlled and maintained within closer tolerances delivering stability and improved performance. Other high efficiency benefits are delivered by the forced draft burner system and unique heat exchanger. This pulls all the heat out from the burned gasses that would normally be lost down the extraction system and put it into the pan! If you have an old range and replace it with the GEN4 model, your gas savings will be significant. Other great features of the range are the easily removable pans that come with a 5 year warranty and there are 6 timers available per pan for those who basket fry, the large bright wipe clean LED display panel with 6 large tactile buttons for ease of operation where you can control features such as ‘standby’ option, set frying temperatures and minute timers. Range styles vary considerably, with either hinged lid or open top for basket frying, island, counter and wall models and the range fronts are stylishly designed to your requirements and to suit your budget. The new UCF model will shortly be available – still using the intelligent technology, this range does not require its own dedicated

extraction and can be placed under a canopy – ideal for those shops who are limited with space or planning issues. After sales service is paramount and Hopkins have team of highly skilled and qualified Gas Safe engineers who will install, service and maintain your range. Hopkins is the only range manufacturer who also compliments its products with online equipment ordering. The website has thousands of catering equipment lines from food prep, cooking, refrigeration, bespoke stainless steel fabrication and dishwashing along with hundreds of spare parts. Hopkins provides a bespoke service tailored to your needs. For example: Do you need help and advice obtaining planning permission? Do you need help and advice obtaining change of usage? Does the local council require noise and odour controls? Do you want to offer different food options? Is space limited, do you need to make the most of the design? Do you need help or advice setting up finance? We can assist you with all of these issues and when you buy a Hopkins range, you can be confident that you’re buying the best quality and getting the best value for money.

Eco Frying Range The Henry Nuttall Eco Frying Range incorporates the patented Eco Burner System. The highest efficiency burner on the market with efficiency levels of in excess of 96%

ere at Henry Nuttall we are at the forefront of High Efficiency Technology. We are constantly developing our Frying ranges to make sure our valued customers have the best possible Equipment and most energy saving solutions in their Fish and Chip shops. Q: What is it that improves the efficiency on your ranges? A: The efficiency is down to the burner and our digital control. The burner is a blown air style in comparison to jet/tube burners of the traditional ranges. This ensures a controlled heat transfer lowering gas bills. This consistent heat also provides a much longer oil life, due to the heating of the oil being consistent throughout the pan along with a less aggressive fashion. However, this is not less powerful as some people have concerns, this is actually much more powerful due to the high efficiency. The Henry Nuttall controls also work as a computers themselves, adjusting the burner to keep temperature from the basis of volume of product in the pan. For example, with a basket full of product in the pan, the control will increase the power to ensure that temperature quickly recovers and remains. This would be vice versa when the product leaves the pans, decreasing the power to remain at the temperature set. This auto – adjusting is what saves the gas, as well as being helpful in producing a consistent product. Mark Bennett of Bennett’s on the Waterfront in Weymouth, a very busy shop all year round, with large seasonal highs, changed to an High efficiency range ECO range from a traditional Henry Nuttall in Jan 2016. Mark commented: “The recovery time is fantastic and that’s going to have a huge benefit in the summer because within half an hour of opening we have a full restaurant and a queue already forming at the takeaway. With the old range, the temperature would drop and it would be three to four minutes before it would come back up. Now it’s almost instant and you can start cooking straight away.” Q: How can using a Eco Frying Range save you money? A: Using our patented ECO Burner Technology the Frying Range is constantly adjusting to make sure the oil temperature is constantly at the required

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • April 2017

cooking temperature whilst using the minimum amount of gas to reach the required temperatures. Using the Henry Nuttall touch screen controller you can operate each pan efficiently whilst also being very user friendly. The touch screen controller can be set up individually for all different types of Frying, including timers, slow melt and turbo functions. Q: What sort of savings can you expect to make using an Eco Frying Range? A: Using a High efficiency Eco Frying Range has huge advantages compared with using a Traditional Frying Range. Firstly, you can expect to save a massive 1/3 on your Gas usage. The feedback from our loyal customer base speaks for its self with some reporting a massive 50% compared to their old Range. PODGE AND TIN, a Fish and Chip restaurant in Cannock, Staffs installed a 4 Pan Eco Counter Range and had this to say…. “The range runs great, the temperature hardly drops at all and it’s efficient. In fact, in comparison to our gas bill at our other shop, which is just a takeaway, it’s about the same and yet here we have radiators and a lot of extra cooking equipment, such as grills.” Q: What other benefits are there of using an Eco Frying Range? A: Whilst all our customers our loving the gas savings using our Eco Frying Range, they have also reported big savings from reduced oil usage. Due to the intelligent controller heating the pan more gradually the oil is being treated better, reducing carbon forming in the oil, meaning the oil lasting longer. By also using our 3 stage Integral Oil Filtration system to filter and clean the oil daily, you should not be wasting any oil meaning massive savings for all our customers using our Frying Ranges. Husnu Cetin from TRIDENT FISH BAR, Swindon had a 3 Pan ECO Wall Range installed in his new shop.. Being very cautious of his energy bills, Husnu takes his own gas readings every week and he’s pleased to report that Henry Nuttall’s high efficiency Eco Burner is already saving him money. “We are open from 11.30am -10pm Monday to Saturday and Sundays 4pm -10pm and my reading is only going up by 10 units per week, which is absolutely amazing,” he concludes.

Looking for Fry-nance?

reasons to lease your next range 1. Preserve capital- Instead of parting with a

lump sum of capital expenditure to cover the full cost of your purchase, leasing’s regular fixed repayment structure helps your business maintain a healthy cash flow.

2. Get

what you need, when you need it- When making a purchase for your business, it can be tempting to settle for a cheaper model to comply with a tight budget. A lease minimises the upfront cost, so there’s no need to settle for substandard equipment or wait until your business can afford the purchase. What’s more, if you do opt for the often more expensive high-efficiency frying ranges, whatever extra you might be paying on the equipment is often earned back quickly through energy bill savings!

3. Cover the ancillary costs- Installation and

maintenance can be expensive extras, but if you opt for a lease, one agreement can cover these extras as well as the equipment.

4. Transparency-

The repayment amounts and dates are agreed in advance and totally transparent, helping you budget ahead with confidence.

5. Tax savings- Each lease payment is 100%

allowable as a tax-deductible expense, allowing you to make savings throughout the term that can be offset against the cost of the equipment. These tax-efficiencies can generate a more immediate return on investment.

Case Study: Downey’s Fish and Chips Downey’s was established in 2011, when the family opened their first shop in Seaham. The family-run business has expanded as a result of its success and now occupies more sites along the coastal seafront, with a second shop in Seaham and one in Roker, Sunderland. The original Seaham site recently underwent a significant expansion, and Director, Glen Downey, approached Johnson Reed for assistance with fit-out and frying range costs. Through a fixed-term lease agreement, finance was arranged for new booth seating, furniture, air conditioning units and a new frying range. The restaurant now seats up to 50 customers, with its clean, contemporary fit out proving a popular atmosphere for customers to sit and savour Downey’s take on the nation’s favourite dish. The Roker site was also fitted out with a brand new state-of-the-art frying range, helping Glen and the team produce the perfect portion of Downey’s fish and chips that little bit more effortlessly! “We’re thrilled with the rapid expansion of the family business, and there’s more in the pipeline,” Glen tells us, “It’s been an absolute pleasure to deal with Johnson Reed and I’d recommend Mark and the team in a heartbeat. They were so professional but also so easy to deal with and talk to. I wouldn’t use anyone else to build and grow my business in the future.”

Blazing Malachy Mallon, owner of the award-winning Dolphin Takeaway, Co Tyrone is aiming to net £15,000 for the Fishermen’s Mission by setting himself an epic charity cycle challenge - and he’s calling for the whole Fish & Chip shop industry to give their support.

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • April 2017

alachy’s aptly named ‘Fish, Chips & Bicycle Clips’ UK Cycle Challenge is now officially launched and this summer he will become the first person ever to cycle to all the UK Top 10 Fish & Chip shops. He aims to cover the 1500 mile route in less than three weeks and hopes to raise £10 pounds for every mile cycled. The 51 year old owner of Northern Ireland’s Best Fish & Chip Shop is no stranger to challenges, having scooped the NI Regional Winner title in the Seafish National Fish & Chip Awards for the past two years running. As one of the UK Top 10 shops, he is now using his success to raise awareness and funds for the Fishermen’s Mission as well as supporting the Fish & Chip shop industry. Speaking at the recent cycle launch, Mallon said, “I’m passionate about cycling, about the fish & chips industry and about helping support our brave, hardworking fishermen – without them there’d be no Fish & Chips. Fishing is the most dangerous peacetime occupation in the UK and fishermen need our support 24 hours a day, every day of the year, that’s why I’m cycling for the Fishermen’s Mission. “It will be a tough challenge with plenty of hilly terrain, busy roads and unpredictable weather but I’m up for it and I’m very excited to see my friends at the Top 10 shops again. I’m asking everyone in the industry to rally together and give their support in whatever way they can to help me reach the £15k fundraising target – it’s an ambitious target but I believe it can be done.” Malachy added, “Seafish UK, most of the Top 10 shops and several other key industry players have already expressed their support and I’m confident there will many more in the coming weeks. I’m humbled by the goodwill and encouragement I

Saddles! have already received. It is also a fabulous opportunity to showcase all that is great and good about the fish and chip industry and to take a positive, healthy message for the nation’s favourite dish on the road right across the UK.”

Starting at the Dolphin in Dungannon at the end of

May, Malachy will cycle for nineteen consecutive days across Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales and his route is as follows; The Dolphin Takeaway, Dungannon, County Tyrone, (Northern Ireland)

Lesley Hammond from the Fishermen’s Mission said, “This is a mammoth undertaking and such a fantastic idea, congratulations and good luck to Malachy for his forthcoming cycle challenge. Fundraising helps the Fishermen’s Mission carry out our vital work in the UK and we are very grateful for the support.” Malachy’s ‘Fish, Chips & Bicycle Clips’ UK Cycle Challenge fundraising campaign is now underway on social media with all donations going directly to the Fishermen’s Mission.

he Flounder Brothers, Fred, Floyd and Felix, are proud of their Antiques, Objects d’Art and Fleet of Boats. They hope you enjoy and appreciate them as much as they enjoy finding them for you. As you approach the building, you will notice M/V FLOUNDER…55’ length, 6’ draft, and 20’ beam, 30 tons net weight; built by D. C. Beaux Shipbuilders, Meraux, Louisiana and commissioned in Bayou La Batre, Alabama in 1946. Captain Frank Flounder and later his sons, Fred, Floyd and Felix, shrimped this vessel from Key West, Florida to Tampico, Mexico thru calm seas, tropical storms and fierce hurricanes until she was retired in 1998. This grand old shrimp boat is complete with nets, sleds, mast and rigging and is ready to go back to sea at any time. The Marlin Bar showcases the huge 980lb, blue marlin, a USGFA World Record catch by Warren Culbertson, a noted Gulf

Coast Angler. Atop Flounder’s stage you’ll find a true Pensacola icon, the original sailfish sign that lit the way to Santa Rosa Island since the 50’s. Inside the restaurant, you will find many ship models and the focal point of the bar, the beautiful fan-shaped Stained Glass that came from a convent in upstate New York. The Flounders promises you a uniquely interesting and warm atmosphere with excellent Food and Drinks prepared and served by friendly employees who Give a Damn!!

Review by Expat Wanderer

“We’ll have to take you to Flounders.” our Pensacola friends said, and we wondered, because we hadn’t seen Flounders on our trips to the beach, and we hadn’t seen it advertised. One day we Googled it, found it on the map and headed for the beach. They don’t seem to need to advertise. Even if there is a parking spot in the Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • April 2017

parking lot (not a given) you are likely to have to wait. Even on a weekday, when you think no one else will be there. And what a very cool place. The place looks beachy, there are usually people sitting out front, waiting, and you can see this huge boat, The Flounder: Now that the temperatures have dropped about ten degrees, the entire restaurant is open, and it is heavenly. If it gets too hot or too cold, there are garagedoor-like barriers against the elements, but for most of the year, Flounders can stay open to the sea breezes. Prices are reasonable, portions are big, service is quick and friendly without being overly intrusive. There are volleyball courts, a landing and a large area for children to play in. We’ve seen a lot of birthday parties at Flounders; children’s and grown ups. They are owned by the same group that owns McGuires and Crabs: We Got ‘Em. Each of those restaurants has a unique menu, and we really like that each has such GOOD food.

So for our first visit, there are two MUST-ORDERS; to test a Florida seafood restaurant, you have to try their Seafood chowder and you have to test their hush puppies. Both were spectacular and memorable: They were so good, in fact, that less than a week later, we went back for more. We also had appetizers for lunch; I had the Baked Parmesan Oysters and Adventure Man had the Fish Tacos/ Nachos. Both were SO good. Worth a trip across the bridge, which only takes maybe 20 minutes from our house. The next time we went back, we also tried the Fish and Chips – very good, served hot and crisp, lightly battered, tasty fish – and a slice of the Key Lime Pie, which was also very good, although not quite as tart as we like it.

GOING FOR COLD! As it warms up – go cold with Coca Cola (CCEP)

oca Cola European Partners make, sell and deliver Coca-Cola products and other soft drinks in Great Britain. They are proud of their brand portfolio and offer customers a complete choice of soft drinks for every occasion. Today they sell over four billion bottles and cans in GB every year. They are passionate about growing soft drink sales and see an exciting future for the category in GB. Coca-Cola may be a global company but they are a local business. With roots firmly in those communities in which they do business. They make 97 percent of their products in GB, a fact they put on all cans and bottles, and they are very proud of it. They employ some 4,000 people in GB and the goal is to maintain a workplace where people are inspired to work as a team and to achieve their personal best performance every day. As the days get longer and the warmer days start it is now time to have a think about the coolers in your premises. Coca Cola (CCEP) can help you chose the right solution for your business. A cooler in the front of your shop can help drive sales as up to 20% customers are likely to buy drinks to go with their fish and chips on impulse. A well stocked cooler near the till will increase sales by around 27%. Visibility and a well stocked display of great brands will also increase your customers temptation by over 20%. Of those who purchase nearly 80% will consume it, so it does need to be ready chilled for them. A new cooler from Coca Cola could save you over £1600 a year in energy, give you maintenance free and easily serviceable coolers, a strong brand identity, low noise and a premium look.

The Chip Barons’ Ball is going...

The Chippy Chat Chip Barons’ Ball is back. With space for over 240 people we are once again planning a great party for the industry as we take you on a journey back to the eighties! The all-important date for your diaries is Sunday December 3rd 2017.

t will be a real grand occasion where you can catch up with friends and colleagues and also let your hair down too. It has become the pre-party to the National fish and chip awards. Last year seven out of the top ten fish and chip shops in the UK chose to attend with many other previous winners in attendance too. Places for this event are already limited many people who attended in 2016 have already pre-booked. Chippy Chat + members receive precedence for tickets and a discounted rate too. Many members saved the membership alone with this reduced table cost!

Prices are just £66 each or £600 for a table of ten, with Chippy Chat + plus members paying just £60 and £540 respectively. * This early bird price is held from 2016. We have some great sponsorship packages available for the Ball please email austen@chippychat.co.uk. Already many sponsors are coming but we have space for just three more. The high quality three course meal will also feature the voice of the stars Pete Jay and then afterwards a fantastic 80’s band and then a late disco to continue the party. We will also have a special rate at the hotel for staying over at just £75 including breakfast. Car parking and wi-fi will be FREE.
