Henny Penny Creates GreatBritish Fish & Chips!

Situated by London’s iconic landmarks including the London Eye, Madame Tussauds and the Tower of London, Great British Fish & Chips celebrates British culture and food, providing traditional British hospitality to hungry tourists across all its sites.

For many visitors to London’s iconic attractions, eating traditional fish and chips is a must-try experience. At Great British Fish & Chips, serving high-quality food to customers experiencing this British classic for the first time is a top priority. With time at a premium in such busy tourist hotspots, the Henny Penny OFE 340 series with Autolift, supplied by Jestic, has become an essential tool for the kitchen. Ensuring that every customer leaves with the best impression of this iconic dish, Henny Penny maintains consistent oil temperatures and brilliantly streamlines the frying process, producing perfectly crispy, fluffy chips, even during the busiest periods.

Sonor, Area Manager of Great British Fish & Chips, explains how the innovative features of the Henny Penny have allowed them to meet high demand, while preserving the tradition and quality that makes fish and chips so special:

“We wanted to try something that would make operations quicker and more efficient. With the Henny Penny Fryer, the chips go into one basket, they’re blanched in that basket, they come up, they rest and then they’re ready to be cooked - so the process starts in one basket and finishes in one basket. This means there’s no damage to the product because there’s less handling, it’s much more efficient, a lot quicker, it’s easy to do and there’s no room for error because it’s all timed.”

With Henny Penny, a premium quality fryer also results in a premium quality product. Sonor goes on to explain:

“We’ve also found that the quality of product is better in the Henny Penny because there’s less fluctuation in the temperature. When we put cold products into hot oil in a traditional pan, the temperature would drop down very quickly and then take time to recover so the product would take in more oil. With the automation of Henny Penny, we don’t lose that temperature, the chips come out crispier with a fluffy inside and the customers are very happy with it.”

Speaking about the overall savings for Great British Fish & Chips, Sonor concludes:

“We’ve definitely saved on oil. With a traditional pan, at the end of the day we’d filter it through a machine. So, we’d have to take the oil out, filter it and put it back in. Whereas with the Henny Penny, it’s all done in one go, in one machine, you can filter throughout the day, preserving the working life of the oil. Ultimately, we’re buying less oil which results in more savings.”

It’s clear to see the advantage that Henny Penny has delivered to Great British Fish & Chips - allowing them to serve the very best product to those hungry tourists whilst helping them work smarter and more efficiently in the kitchen.
