PRESIDENT’S NOTES Written by Andrew Crook, NFFF President Building Back better It is now almost twelve months since we faced the start of the pandemic and realised the big issue we were facing, and this has probably been the biggest threat to our way of living in our lifetime and maybe ever. However, as the weeks go by the feeling grows that we are heading towards some sort of normality. It will be great to be able to mix and interact again, albeit in small numbers, and I think we have all had enough of looking at graphs! Whilst some return to normality will be gratefully received, I think it is time for hospitality to get the respect and support from government it deserves. For years we have been under supported and over-burdened by tax. Whilst banks and engineering companies receive support when they are the verge of collapse, we have been left to struggle every quarter to cover our liabilities. Yes, we are meant to add the VAT element to our sale price, but we know this is not how it works in reality. We employ three million people as a sector and contribute billions to the economy. If we are given the support now, we can play an even more vital part in
the road to economic recovery. By not starving us of oxygen we can thrive, providing more quality jobs and up skill many more people. I hope the Government continue to show the support they have done since the pandemic and they realise that there is a great opportunity to encourage entrepreneurs to build the country back better! I have recently been made aware that we have lost two more industry legends; Adrian Herdman, former National President and former Area President for Wales and Brian Hutton, former National Treasurer. Adrian was a member of the NFFF board when I first joined and had a huge impact on the industry during his long career with the NFFF. I only had the pleasure of meeting Brian at AGM but his name was one I heard many times over the years. Two great industry stalwarts who will be sadly missed and our thoughts go to their families. I think now is the time to look to the future, we have come through this year and we can do it again if we have to, let’s now plan for a better future. I think the fish and chip industry will go through many changes in the next few years but quality product and quality service will always win through.

Sad passing of former NFFF Directors The NFFF is sad to announce the passing of former NFFF President Adrian Herdman, NFFF Treasurer Brian Hutton and Regional Director for Wales Jeff Derrick. Adrian was President of the NFFF from 2000 to 2006 and was heavily involved with the Welsh Area Council for many years. In 2007 Adrian was awarded ‘Life Membership’ and later received Meritorious Service Award from the NFFF. Brian joined the NFFF as a Regional Director for England in 1995 and would remain involved with the NFFF Board until 2008. From 2001 and 2006 Brian held the role of NFFF Treasurer. Brian was awarded ‘Life Membership’ in 2006. Jeff Derrick initially joined the NFFF Board in 1994 and held the position of Regional Director of Wales for 6 months. Jeff would later re-join the Board in 1998 and again hold the position of Regional Director of Wales until 2006.
NFFF President Andrew Crook said “I had the pleasure of working with Adrian on the NFFF Board, he had a wealth of experience both of the NFFF and the fish and chip industry and I learned a lot about the industry from him. Adrian was extremely proactive in the Welsh Area Council, serving as area President for a number of years and was instrumental in organising several NFFF Balls in Wales. Adrian had a great sense of humour and that often came out during meetings. My thoughts are with Iris and Adrian’s family and friends. I only met Brian once at a recent AGM, but it was a pleasure to meet with him having only heard positive words regarding the work he had undertaken for the NFFF and fish and chips in general. Jeff was an outstanding representative for fish and chips in Wales together with his time on the NFFF Board. We are saddened to learn of the loss of these three gentlemen.” Our thoughts are with everyone associated with their families at this sad time.
Happy Retirement Eileen! We would like to take this moment to wish our membership coordinator a happy retirement. Eileen will leave the NFFF on the 26th February 2021. As membership coordinator Eileen will have handled all your enquires and membership renewals. NFFF President Andrew Crook said “Eileen has been an integral part of the NFFF office team, and she will be sorely missed. Having spoken to members we have only heard positive comments regarding the work she has undertaken, and we are truly thankful. We hope Eileen can enjoy her retirement with her family.”
Adrian Herdman and Brian Hutton.

RAT INFESTATION WARNING FOR CLOSED PUB AND RESTAURANTS

Uber must classify its drivers as workers rather than selfemployed, the UK’s Supreme Court has ruled.
Numbers of rat infestations in empty and closed pubs and restaurants in the UK has reach “biblical levels” as Pest Controllers warn managers and landlords to check premises for infestations well before lockdown restrictions ease.
This means tens of thousands of Uber drivers are entitled to minimum wage and holiday pay. The binding decision could leave Uber facing a hefty compensation bill, plus wider consequences for the gig economy.

QUALITY ACCREDITATION SCHEME – LINFORDS FISH AND CHIPS Join the NFFF Quality Accreditation Scheme
People might ask ‘how can the inspection be done virtually?’ and to be honest with you I did initially think that but I can now say that it was excellent.
I have worked at Linfords since the age of 16, and from that time I have only known Linfords Fish and Chips as a Quality Award holding shop, starting with the Seafish scheme and moving into the NFFF scheme. I personally took over the shop from Pat and Paul in 2019, my first job was to maintain the excellent standard they had set for many years.
My inspection lasted for around 2 hours however, this was longer than expected because I spent a lot of time talking to the assessor about items away from the award.
As I worked towards my first inspection in 2020 the coronavirus pandemic started and like many shops, the whole fish and chip world changed and the award was placed on hold. Towards the end of 2020, the NFFF announced the Quality Award scheme had been evolved into the Quality Accreditation scheme, now with an online application. In the current situation we are in I think that is fantastic, as shop owners we are looking to minimise the risk to us and our employees, risking placing an assessor in my shop for a prolonged period isn’t ideal.

www.nfff.co.uk
What’s great about the virtual inspection is I was always with the assessor, so if they spotted something it was instant feedback and a discussion point to look at improving my business.
…sponsored by Sarsons For me the involvement with Sarsons is great as the brand is consumer facing. As a business we do use the product but even if we didn’t, I still personally think its great to have them involved. Although we shout about our previous awards not everyone else does. With the red ‘Q’ and the Sarsons branding it gives the award something our customers
recognise. Public awareness is already there with the Sarsons brand, and we have found that our customers have been more engaged and asked us about it scheme.
…so why undertake the new NFFF Quality Accreditation scheme Why wouldn’t you? As a fish and chip shop owner you can be stuck in your own bubble, and you think everything in your shop is perfect and you don’t need to change. However how do you know? You are in your own bubble as I just said. The NFFF Quality Accreditation scheme allows you a fresh pair of eyes to come into your shop and help you
improve. You have to have an open mind to change and I think this year has taught us that change isn’t always bad. As a shop we hadn’t even considered ‘click and collect’ before the pandemic but now we couldn’t live without it. The scheme has also been launched at a new price which is even better value for money and I would encourage you to take a look at becoming a QA holding shop. How do I join the Scheme? You can now apply to the Scheme by visiting www.QUALITYFISHANDCHIPS.co.uk. The assessment now takes place by a virtual ZOOM inspection which will cover everything the previously physical inspections covered. To discuss further, simply call the NFFF Head Office on 0113 230 7044 or email QA@nfff.co.uk

LE FISH AND CHIPS
I left the RAF in 2017 after nearly 20 years and moved to France, right in the south near the Spanish border. My wife and I had been planning the move for a number of years and had intended to create some holiday rental properties. But, after a couple of years of searching and failing to find the right property, we decided on a change of tack! When the first lockdown came into force in March 2020 we had a lot more time on our hands to research what it was that we wanted to do. I had wanted to work with food for many years, so we started to look into that. It was actually a French neighbour of ours that suggested fish and chips - I hadn’t thought it would be something popular in these parts, but all of our French friends have loved the idea and can’t wait for us to start serving! We decided on a food truck as it would give us plenty of flexibility over where and when we could work, so we could take advantage of seasonal changes in activity, such as weekly markets and summer fetes, as well as the Tour de France (which passes near to here, every year) and the ski season (we’re only 40 minutes from the biggest ski area in the French Pyrenees). And, so, Le Bistrot de James was born!
I’m a great believer in the value of training and personal development and so I began to search what opportunities were available. I found the NFFF via an internet search and was interested in getting involved.

Obviously, in the middle of a pandemic, training is always going to be difficult, but you guys had thought of this and Helen Brook very kindly allowed me to postpone the practical training day until it was safe to travel. The Zoom training was excellent and so much more than I had anticipated it to be. I had imagined some training on the fundamentals of frying and the fish and chip industry, but what I actually got was a full assessment of my business plan and where to improve, marketing advice, technical advice on equipment, the layout of my food truck and some industry-specific information on the food hygiene side of things. And, of course, there was plenty of help and advice on the best bit - making fish and chips! I genuinely cannot rate the training highly enough. It far exceeded my expectations, and my only regret is not having done it earlier in the business set-up process. It would have certainly changed some of my decisions, but at least I now know where I can improve before I start trading. I can’t honestly say which part of the training I found to be the best as it was all so good, but I would say that the way in which my ideas and business plan were dissected (in a good way!) and discussions were personalised to my specific situation made the biggest impression on me. The pride the instructors (Lesley Graves, Malachy Mallon, Hugh Mantle & David Miller) felt in the fish and chip industry and the NFFF came across clearly from the start; this enthusiasm and professionalism encouraged me to get involved and be part of the NFFF and strive to achieve and maintain the highest possible standards, as much to repay the faith and effort the instructors put into me during the training as for myself! At this stage, I’m just looking to establish my food truck and introduce quality fish and chips to the Pyrenees! If all goes well, it would certainly be nice to expand what we have, both in terms of menu options and in terms of infrastructure. But, for now, I’m just hoping to make Le Bistrot de James somewhere people want to eat.

OPINIONS MATTER Your opinions have been answered by NFFF Regional Director Malachy Mallon
Opinions matter to us at the NFFF, we want to hear from you all. In recent Fish Friers Reviews we have featured our ‘Opinions Matter’ page. We want to hear our members opinions on subjects which affect our trade. The opinion could be a couple of sentences, a paragraph or it could be a full page article. The NFFF will reflect on all of your opinions and will provide answers on how we all as an industry can improve and move forward.
Our latest subject was; As an industry we want to look forward to what 2021 might look like. • What changes are you looking to make in your business over the coming year? • Will you be changing your menu, opening hours, branding in the coming year? • What are your plans?
Member A
“My opening hours before the pandemic were MondaySaturday 11:30am - 9:00pm and we had a small restaurant area in the front of our shop that could seat around 7 tables of 2. Since the pandemic we have changed our opening hours, we no longer open on a Monday, we have decided to keep this in the future even after the pandemic as it gives us some well-earned rest time and also forces customers to come in on another day. Obviously, at the moment our restaurant is closed, but it wasn’t greatly busy before, we’ve decided to close between 2:30-4:00 Tuesday-Saturday, this then gives us time to prepare for the busy evening trade. Our delivery service has really pushed on since the pandemic for obvious reasons, but I believe this will carry on for a while, so it gives us time to pair up

www.nfff.co.uk
deliveries for trips for drivers to go on. As for our menu, we have simplified it. We’ve taken away items we rarely sold throughout the week and we’ve started our own vegan range which is proving to be very popular. Making the menu smaller has really benefited the business, made our service quicker and helps with stock control and storage.”
NFFF
For many, this has been an opportunity to revisit how we run our business, and you seem to have done just that. Adjusting your opening hours has given you the time to recharge your batteries and allowed you the time to make adjustments to the business, trimming the menu of lesser selling items and introducing the new vegan range will all prove positive. You’re to be commended on recognising that now is the best time of all to make the decisions that in the past were difficult to make. Wishing you many successful years in business
Member B
“For me the past year has been busier than expected, we found ourselves at the hub of the local food community and managed to stay open and supported throughout 2020.

OPINIONS MATTER
Going into this next year we have no way of knowing what will happen, we have however seen the massive shift from footfall in the shop into online ordering for delivery. Obviously, this is due to lockdown(s), but I think it’s been a big introduction to the industry of how the future looks. We have changed our hours to suit this With less passing trade there is no point staying open in the off chance of people wandering in. We are not in a town centre, so even when lockdown eases, I don’t think it will have a massive impact of people rushing out for fish and chips when they have had it all along. The online portals are very good at bringing customers and also managing data, trends and you usually get feedback whether you ask for it or not. My only criticism is the high commission they charge, which has to be reflected somewhat in the online pricing. As for our menu - we have tweaked it in order to try and suit all people that might be looking at us online. We have offerings that we don’t usually advertise in the shop - such as burgers, nuggets etc. Which are big online sellers. Just my thoughts.”
NFFF
Very well done for being at the hub of your community, at times like this fish & chips really shine through, your customers have recognised the important part you and your business plays in society and in doing so they are showing great support. You’re correct in that no one knows what lies ahead, all we can do is respond, evolve, and embrace change, and those of us who do will stand a greater chance of survival.
This has been a great time to revisit our menu offerings, removing/adding items that help the business. Best wishes going forward for whatever 2021 brings
Member C
“We will be having our own delivery and click and collect takeaway portal rather than using Deliveroo’s portal where their service charges are quite large. We are adding more to our Vegetarian menu including Vegan plant-based pies and burgers. Our opening hours will stay the same at the moment, but might close an hour later in the summer. We have not launched our new logo but are rebranding our logo which will be revealed next month. Our main plan is to keep on doing what we do now and adjust with what the market dictates.”
NFFF
Click & collect is a great addition to the business, not only does it manage to help being better organised and greater average spend, it also assists greatly with socially distancing (taking it’s time allocated). Adding vegetarian & vegan items to your menu seems to be a very positive thing to do, it’ll make your menu more inclusive. Rebranding with a new logo is a nice touch, and will make you instantly recognisable. Your approach to adjust and change will help greatly to your longevity in the business. Best wishes as you go forward.
The online portals have been a great way of reaching new customers and upselling other menu items, resulting in a greater average spend. It takes a little time to establish which portals are best suited and cost effective for each individual business. “Vegetarian menu including Vegan pies”.

“Expand our menu to possibly use shellfish, crabs, lobster rather than that going to waste”.
Member D
“First of all, will be looking to enhance our vegetarian/ vegan options on our menu, as we believe there is potential to do so after the much publicised vegan January etc
Brexit has been particularly challenging for the fishing industry and might well take some time to settle, I do hope though it’ll be sooner rather than later. Your customers will really enjoy the added shellfish selection to your menu, and it’s things like this that will make your business stand out, also a great opportunity for a nice bit of PR! Thanks again for your kind words, we wish you many years of success as you go forward.
THE FULLRANGE OF EXPERTISE
Regarding changes we could make... we will wait to see what the “new normal” looks like and be ready to adapt. I would really like to help the British fishing industry more especially with the much publicised Brexit problems and expand our menu to possibly use shellfish, crabs, lobster rather than that going to waste. Many thanks to all the team at NFFF for their ongoing support advice during this pandemic.”
NFFF
Thank you very much for your positive comments and supporting the NFFF in the work that we do in trying to represent the wider fish & chip community. Vegetarian/vegan options demand are definitely on the rise and an addition to your menu will prove positive for your business. ‘’Normal’’ well, whatever that is we will have to adapt/ change to whatever is demanded of us if we want to survive and flourish in business. This has been a time of ‘’being proactive’’ and embracing change.

WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!
To help the fish and chip industry further we require more information about the situations all shops currently find themselves in. With further knowledge we can continue to work on behalf of the fish and chip industry. Following on from our successful fish and chip Coronavirus survey which we ran as part of the January issue of the Fish Friers Review, we want to know more about some of your customer habits and how you are reaching your customers. We want to learn about how business location has affected customer average spend and whether this correlates to shops which are using a delivery platforms or a click and collect service. If you can spare 5 minutes of your time to complete the survey below we would be hugely grateful.

MCWHINNEY’S GLUTEN FREE SAUSAGES McWhinney’s have been making the same high quality Irish Pork Sausages since 1898 and current Managing Director, Kevin McWhinney, has promised to be loyal to the original recipe that has served the past four generations so well.
The solution turned out to be more expensive than the original sausage because he refused to use anything but the best ingredients. He had achieved his aim in developing a gluten free sausage which tasted the same as his original extremely popular sausage. The only downside is that the gluten free sausage will be slightly more expensive than the original, but Kevin believes that coeliacs all over the country will be able to enjoy a gluten free sausage which tastes like a real McWhinney’s sausage. Kevin has always believed that he should not sell a product that he is not prepared to let his family eat, so, on this occasion, the person he had to please was the biggest food critic in his family – Kevin himself. He also told us that one of the most important principles he had been taught in business came from both his late father and grandfather when they said that quality will remain long after price is forgotten.
In December 2018 an event occurred which forced a change in his thinking. He was discovered as being gluten intolerant following a diagnosis of Coeliac Disease. This meant that he could no longer eat and enjoy the sausages which he had eaten since he was a child. This distressed Kevin so much that he decided he had to do something about it. He set out to recreate the original McWhinney’s sausage, but with one important difference – it had to be gluten free and it had to taste just like the original McWhinney’s sausages. Over the coming months he made several attempts to recreate the original taste, but being a perfectionist, nothing please him. He continued to strive for the taste which he was so used to and experienced many failed attempts before finally coming up with a recipe which not only pleased him, but tasted just like the original McWhinney’s sausages he had been eating for so long.

FISH & CHIPS - HIGHLAND Fort William, Highland, Scotland • • • • •
Freehold Price: £450,000 Family owned for 30 years Award winning reputation, busy location Stunning location with breathtaking views Great scope to expand
Award Winning Fish and chip shop in stunning location in the Sottish Highlands, serving their famous fish and chips for almost 30 years and run by the same family with great turnover. The business does not just offer a range of fried food but also sells a range of soft drinks and sweets. More information on Turnover available upon request.
With the owner’s purchase of the land to the side of the business, which is included in the sale, there is great potential for expansion. This is a reluctant sale due to retirement, giving the new owners a great opportunity to add to this already successful business in a lovely location.
