At Krispies we get through a lot of fish – on average half a ton per week (more in Summer) and we want every single piece of fish we serve to be very fresh, very good quality and to come from sustainable sources. To achieve this we buy our fresh fish frozen! I know this sounds like a contradiction but the process ensures our Fish is Fresher than Fresh! Read on to find out more…

You don’t need me to tell you how important batter is to our business. It needs to be the very best quality consistently, to coat evenly, to stay crisp when cooked and it needs to work on our famous battered chips as well as our fish.

The environment and the amount of plastics in our Oceans has really hit the headlines in the last few months and rightly so. At Krispies we are passionate about the environment locally and globally and we have been doing various things to help safeguard our environment for some time now so we thought this was a good opportunity to publish our Environmental Policy so people can see what we are doing.

So, what are exactly are the Fish & Chip Oscars? They are the name we give to the prestigious National Fish & Chip Awards and they are designed to reward and celebrate the very best people and businesses in the Fish & Chip world. This year the awards were celebrating their 30th year so it was fabulous to be there, not just to celebrate this landmark but to actually win something too!

We believe that sourcing our fish sustainably is part of our responsibility. For us it is not a choice but something we have to do help keep our oceans healthy for many years to come.

Our staff really are the most important part of our business because without them we could not cook great food and serve it with a smile seven days a week never mind win our awards! 

As you know we are very proud of our food at Krispies and we do all we can to source our goods from top notch suppliers that, where possible, are British. 

We want to continue to give the kids who come to our shop a little bit extra so they know that eating fish is delicious and healthy and gives your brain an Omega 3 boost!

The assessment for the awards cover pretty much everything from hygiene to health and safety and cleaning schedules to customer service. Oh, and they eat our food too (that’s the tough part of the job for the assessor, poor thing).
