Billion Dollar Chips! Michael and Xochi Birch, the couple who founded social network Bebo and sold it for $850million, have bought Woolsery fish and chip shop, Devon and have re-opened it after a refurbishment.

peaking from his San Fransisco home, Mr Birch told the local Devon newspaper it was ‘a moment of madness.’ He said: “It made me feel very English; being American one has to keep clinging onto these things. “It was a relatively small project compared to

our other projects, but it is an important part of the village nonetheless.” Mr Birch said he was looking forward to visiting the chip shop soon, as good fish and chips are hard to come by in Silicon Valley. Manager Jay Oyarzarbal said the shop made everything in-house, using sustainable fish and local meat. He added: “We’ve had a really good response so far and we’re happy to be here.” Picture Woolsery Fish and Chips manager Jay Oyarzabal (centre) with staff Aimee Johnson and Ashley

Onward Christian By Austen Dack

This month’s featured fish and chip shop is in Norwich. The Grosvenor Fish Bar has been a family tradition for over 30 years. Serving freshly cut chips and perfectly battered fish, in a 1700’s listed building. In last year’s National Fish and Chip Awards they made the top 20 not bad considering co-owner Christian only took over from his father just 3 years ago.

hristian Motta, 43, worked for ten years in New York as an interior design and a costume designer for film and TV sets before returning to take over the Grosvenor Fish Bar from his father Mal. Mal Motta was born in Italy but grew up in Wales, where his father ran a chip shop in Caerphilly which was once visited by Welsh singing legend Tom Jones. “I always loved this shop,” he said. “I used to work in it when I was a 15 and when I had the opportunity to buy it and I thought it needed a face-lift so we renovated it as a project.

The Grosvenor Fish Bar is a long established traditional fish and chip shop, with a twist. Serving the usual chip shop fare, plus an interesting selection of sandwiches and wraps including sea bass, mackerel, tuna and rock salmon. They have seating downstairs for up to 50 – with ‘eat in’ and ‘take away’ at the same price. On my visit I took the alcohol route at the pub next door for If you want to have a beer or a glass of fizz with your meal, just order in the chippy and they deliver it to you at The Birdcage Pub just across the road.

Soldiers who loved her experience was blogger ‘LelaLondon.’ “As it was our only full day in the city we had planned to cram in as much as we could. For fuels sake, we headed through The Lanes to experience the supposed magic Grosvenor Fish Bar. I never thought I would be able to praise a chippy…but YOU GUYS. This is the fish shop of all fish shops. Recently refurbished, the 90-year old Grosvenor Fish Bar is all the English tradition you could hope for with a retro Americana twist. With limited space at the ‘Bar’ itself, the owners have turned the lower floor into a cave of impossibly quirky bunker dining but have also teamed up with the adjacent pub – The Birdcage – should you want a tipple with your fish feast. Delivery included. Naturally, we did the latter. Surrounded by a gallery wall, trinkets, and smiling hipsters a-plenty, we placed

our gargantuan order and watched the door excitedly from our 70s-inspired chairs. Everyone’s heads turned as our order arrived. Taking up the entirety of our table, we powered through a Bass With Sass (crispy sea bass fillet wrap with lettuce and spicy mango salsa), Wako Taco (spicy steamed cod wrap, salsa, lettuce, cheese, sour cream), Shark Bites (shark nuggets served with a miso dip), a Cod Goujon (the classic), and fried pickles/battered gherkins with aioli. The stuff of childhood dreams. Even if you’re only in Norwich for one hour, you must find time to visit Grosvenor Fish Bar”.

Call the Coastguard Two major players tell us why P100 is their oil of choice

Coastguard Fish & Chips...

ayling’s premier fish and chip restaurant and take away is situated on the sunny South of the Island at Eastoke corner. The Coastguard Cafe was originally Coastguard Cottages. It was first established in 1942 by Victor and Annie Elliott. They opened the business as tea rooms, with a fish and chip takeaway next door. They also ran a fresh shellfish and a fruit and veg stall at the front of the building. The menu in those days consisted of cream teas, or eggs, beans, ham and peas etc. But in the 1960s you could order a beach tray, (which as its name suggests you could take it down the beach with you). And when you returned the crockery, you would get your 10 shillings deposit back which was equivalent to 50p in today’s money. The business has been kept in the family since 1942 till present day and is still run by Jeff Clark and his wife Caroline, also Jeff’s mum Irene who is now in her late 80’s still has an active role in the business. Their daughters Charlotte and Hermione work their too. Jeff tells us one of the secrets of their success in the fish and chip shop is using P100. “We only use the best ingredients, and after trialling all the leading brands we found that P100 outperforms its rivals. Add to that a very reasonable price, it makes it the right choice for our business. Although we have been trading since 1942 we always strive to stay ahead of the competition.”

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2015

Top Shop Chooses P100 Hennighan’s Top Shop was established in 1982 by David’s parents Janet and Richard Hennighan. Even then working for my parents it was apparent to David that all frying oils were different. After a year experimenting with different oils and fats we came to the conclusion that P100 vegetable frying fat was the best choice for us and there are several reasons why. It is a natural ingredient which gives consistency in the taste and freshness of our fish and chips. P100 Vegetable frying oil is suitable for vegetarians as it is free from any animal fats and also additives. This oil is made from nonhydrogenated vegetable oil which gives low trans fatty acids. Another great reason why we use P100 is its odourless this was a major issue as we don’t want our customers to smell anything but good quality fish and chips. After eating a portion of our fish and chips we want to make sure that our customers do not taste anything but Hennighan’s Top Shop fish and chips and this is why P100 is great as there is not extra taste. Even though fish and chips is a takeaway meal P100 does not offer a greasy meal. This product is one of the most important thing to have correct in this business.

“There Is No Substitute For Quality” says Andrew Marriott of Frymax

“I

t is the consistently high quality of Frymax, together with our customer visit and support programme that keeps the Frymax brand as the fryers’ favourite” says Andrew Marriott, Brand and Marketing Manager for Frymax. For the fifth consecutive year, four of the ten regional winners in The Best Independent Takeaway Fish and Chip Shop of the Year Award are Frymax users. In addition, two of the five finalists in the Best Restaurant category are Frymax users, including the winner, Burton Road Chippy. “When you consider the different frying mediums, such as dripping, various liquid oils and palm , coupled with the number of brands in the market, it is a testimony to the consistent quality of Frymax that once again 40% of the finalists fry with Frymax,” says Marriott. The strength and reputation of a brand depends on the experiences of its users. Strong brands earn the loyalty of their customers by their consistent high quality. Frymax have identified five fryers who have been using their product for over 50 years and more than 80 fryers who have used Frymax for between 25 and 50 years. Marriott sees this as a testimony to the consistent high quality of Frymax, “I doubt if there is another all vegetable brand in our marketplace that could make such a claim.” Mr Solomou of Gerard Street Fish Bar in Derby who have used Frymax for over forty years says “Frymax is the best quality product. It gives long life, consistency of colour and always produces tasty food which our customers love and keep coming back for more. It is one of the foundations of our business.”

The Solomou family of Gerard Street Fish Bar

Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2015

New Users Frymax continues to gain new users from all sectors of the market. Mr. Vella of Pizza Amore in Glasgow , a dripping user for 30 years switched to Frymax two years ago. “Since moving to Frymax my trade has increased by over 30%. The food is lighter , less greasy and has a much cleaner taste. I won’t move away from Frymax.“ My Plaice Fish and Chips in Gorleston , Great Yarmouth moved from an own label blended vegetable fat to Frymax two years ago. Owner Neil Bains says “ Moving to Frymax has been one of the best choices we’ve made in our business. Customers love its unique taste and quality which has helped us achieve national awards. In aiming to be the best you have to use the best and that is Frymax.” Lakeside Takeaway in Cheltenham had used a hydrogenated fat for over 30 years. Last year they changed to Frymax. Owner John Izamis says “ Frymax produces a lighter and crispier product. The customer feedback from day one has been very positive. I am also using less oil because Frymax lasts longer. I was so impressed with Frymax that I encouraged my sister to make the change in her shop. The results have been just as positive. We will not change from Frymax.“

John Izamis of Lakeside at his range

The Premier Cafe in Budleigh Salterton had used another branded palm oil for nine years . Twelve months ago they changed to Frymax. Owner Simon Blisset says “I wish I had changed to Frymax years ago. I thought our fish and chips were good but now with Frymax they are even better. The comments from our customers have been remarkable. The product retains less fat and has a cleaner and crispier taste. The longevity of the oil is better than any other oil I have used.” Andrew Marriott says “We thank our loyal users and our many new customers for their support in keeping Frymax at the top.” Chippy Chat & Fast Food Magazine • August 2015

Chippy’s − 60 years of frying with Chippy’s is a real family concern, currently in the fourth generation of fryers and with eleven family members involved in the business. Established in 1955 and with the addition of successful mobile and catering businesses Chippy’s is run by Glenn and Chris Edwards, with family help of course! Alongside the family there is another consistent factor which has helped them produce great tasting products. And that is Frymax which they have been using as their cooking medium since 1955. “We fry in Frymax which is of consistent quality, odourless and doesn’t transfer taste” says Glenn, “This means our customers get delicious fish and chips every time. We have never had a complaint about Frymax in sixty years!” Frymax is produced from top quality pure white sustainable premium palm, which is additive free and contains no hydrogenated oils. Not only does it guarantee consistently good results, its performance is long lasting without any deterioration in quality. The Chippy’s family know that to produce the best you have to use the best and there is none better than Frymax.

Containing no hydrogenated fats and less than 1% trans fat, we take a closer look into what else you love about FriWite. Lorenzo Andreucci, Central Chippy, Kinross, Fife

“Since I tried FriWite, I haven’t looked back. I find that my food is crispier and the flavour is fantastic. I’ve noticed a difference in how much longer its frying life is – and even towards to end there is no foaming and it still has a pleasant smell. Overall, I am very pleased with FriWite and can’t imagine using anything else”

Simon Hunter, Barnby-Dun Fish & Chips, Doncaster

“FriWite has exceeded my expectations in terms of its quality. It lasts longer and withstands high temperatures very well. My products fry with no aftertaste. I am very pleased and can recommend FriWite to other friers.”

Marcus French, French’s Fish & Chips, Well-Next-The-Sea, Norfolk “I am extremely satisfied with FriWite and would happily recommend the brand to other shops.”

“FriWite is a hard-wearing fat. I have been using for over three years now and I wouldn’t change for anything! It is competitively priced and I would highly recommend this oil to anyone. I use the best - now I can forget the rest!”

Nick Vine, The Village Chippy, Bedworth, Warwickshire

“I think customers nowadays are more aware of what they are eating, so I let them know that I am frying in a healthier alternative with FriWite posters and window stickers. I like that FriWite it is nonhydrogenated and has less than 1% trans fat – it sets it apart from other oils. The results are impressive and my food tastes great – I’ve found the right balance with FriWite.’

FriWite, a pure and light fry!

Phillip Noise, Oakdale Fish, Poole, Dorset “We’ve used FriWite for years – it’s great stuff! We love the results”

Michael Passes the Test

huge congratulations from all at Testo limited and Chippy Chat to Michael Vernon of Vernon’s Fish Bar (Crewe), winner of the competition featured in our Chippy Chat March magazine. Michael answered our question correctly (Total Polar Material) , and was selected at random as the winner and has been given a brand new Testo 270 cooking oil tester worth over £350! As you can see from the images below, Michael couldn’t be happier with his new recruit. The cooking oil tester will not only save Vernon’s fish bar money on oil consumption, but will make certain that their Fish & chips are always top quality. Testo’s 270 allows you to determine within seconds whether cooking oil needs changing. To do so, it measures the ‘Total Polar Material’ (TPM) content in the oil, which is a sure indicator of its quality. It will then provide you with a reading and based on the colour of the screen display

t will be a real grand occasion where you can catch up with all of your friends and colleagues and also let your hair down too. The all-important date for your diaries is Sunday December 6th 2015. Places for this event are already limited many people who attended in 2014 have already pre-booked. Please can you email amanda@chippychat.co.uk if you wish to attend and also how many tickets you require? Chippy Chat + members will receive precedent for tickets and also a discounted rate too. Many members saved the membership alone with this reduced table cost! Prices are just £60 each or £540 for a table of ten, with Chippy Chat + plus members paying just £54 and £498 respectively. Massive thanks to Smales, Blakemans, KFE, Union Norge and Youngs (Kingfrost) who have already signed up to be sponsors for the evening.

If you are interested in sponsoring the Ball please email austen@chippychat. co.uk. This year we have teamed up with Spinal Injuries Association as our charity partner who have been running nationally – The Great British Fish and Chip Supper. The high quality three course meal will be followed by the voice of the stars Pete Jay and then finally a great disco for you to have a boogie. The photo booth and casino will be there to entertain you again too. We also have a special rate at the hotel for staying over too at just £75 which includes breakfast too.

f you who want to buy a personalised numbered licence plate you can expect to pay top dollar for the most sought after number and letter combinations available in the UK. The most expensive numbered UK licence plate ever was the ‘F1’ plate which sold for £440,000 in 2008. The proud owner, Afzal Khan placed the Formula One initials on his Mercedes-Benz McLaren, which interestingly enough cost £200,000 less than the plate itself at the time. It has since been reported that he would consider selling the plate for a cool £10 million. In a world where buyers are limited by the number and letter combinations they can use on their car, finding a special personalised number plate is rare. Car owners can get these items directly from the DVLA, or they can peruse eBay to find a wide variety of cherished number plates for sale or you can call George F White direct.

ings Business Transfer are delighted to present to the market a long established traditional English fish & Chip takeaway ‘Denholme Fisheries’, situated in West Yorkshire - occupying a prime trading corner position in the delightful village of Denholme, a small town in the Bradford Metropolitan Borough. The fish and chip shop has been established on the same site since 1908, and is therefore an integral part of the local community that is undoubtedly cherished. Over the years, the business has earned a truly enviable reputation within the local community which benefits from high levels of repeat custom. Currently offering only fish & chips, scope already exists to take the business further by adding to the menu. The business operates 42 weeks of the year and opens 4 and a half days of the week on very minimal hours; with the vendors only frying 18 and a half hours a week. This therefore provides new owners with further scope to increase opening times to generate greater levels of profit. The premises itself is equipped to a high standard with an extensive range of good quality and valuable catering equipment; all of which has been well maintained. The sales area is bright and airy to create a warm and welcoming environment. The sale of the business also comes with a large, selfcontained 3 bedroom property which spans four floors. The accommodation is almost twice the size of neighbouring properties; making this aspect of the sale particularly attractive. The ground floor comprises a dining room, kitchen and a cellar beneath. The first floor comprises a living room, 1 double bedroom and a shower/ bathroom. The second floor incorporates two double bedrooms and bathroom. The property overall benefits from having many of its original features; including wooden beams, ceiling roses, ornate cornicing and a large cast iron wood burning stove. Denholme Fisheries is a very lucrative business with tremendous scope and potential. Currently run by the owner, the fish and chip shop aims to provide the very best of fish and chips to the local community. It should be noted that there is currently a new housing estate being built in the area, which will add to the already extensive customer base that the business has built up. To avoid disappointment, viewing is highly recommended at the earliest opportunity. Denholme Fisheries is available for sale, exclusively through Kings Business Transfer on a freehold basis, for offers in the region of £170,000.
