For the Best Chippy Tea, use Middleton Foods

Fish and chips is a beloved fast food staple in British households, with 83% of consumers saying they buy it, according to our ‘What the Cluck’ report

With so many fast food options available, operators need to be producing the best chippy tea to keep consumers coming back for more! As the nation’s favourite supplier of fish and chip batters, Middleton Foods works with the leading shops and restaurant chains to help them achieve the products which make their business work within the fast-food industry.

Batter is the secret ingredient to serving the best fish and chips in the business, and different batters suit different frying mediums and different areas, which highlights just how important it is to get it right. Since opening in 2011, The Cod’s Scallops has redefined the traditional fish and chip shop. Founded by Chef and Restaurateur John Molnar, the concept was simple – deliver premium-quality fish and chips, using the freshest produce, cooked to order, and served in a traditional, family-friendly environment. Combining the humble heritage of the British chippie with a bold culinary twist, over 20 species of fish and shellfish are available and cooked fresh to order, daily.

When it came to sourcing the right batter, John left nothing to chance. He blind taste-tested products from all the market leaders and when it came down to it, Middleton Foods came out on top. John explains: “We were looking for flavour, crispness, and a thin, light batter. Middleton’s ticked every box. Once we found them, we never looked back”.

The Cod’s Scallops and Middleton Foods have worked together to create a bespoke batter tailored to its exact specifications, a rich, beefy gravy, reminiscent of Sunday roasts from John’s youth and a signature curry sauce that’s spicy but balanced. With multiple sites, consistency is key, and Middleton Foods can manufacture The Cod’s Scallops’ bespoke recipes at scale to ensure every customer has the same great experience, regardless of location. John goes on to say; “If you’re buying the best quality fish, treat it with respect, coat it with the perfect batter or serve it with a well-crafted sauce. Fish and chips can truly be world class, and Middleton Foods has helped us every step of the way.”

Working with owners and operators to support their business, is a huge part of what we do – and something we really enjoy. Our expert development chefs regularly work with customers to come up with concepts which work best for their business; as well in creating NPD which can assist chippies in delivering a quality offering to their customers.
