Scotland’s First Canine-Friendly Chippy Launched by Cromars - St Andrew’s Multi Award - Winning Fish & Chip Business

Cromars Classic Fish and Chips based in St Andrews – winner of the ‘best fish supper on the east coast of Scotland’ at the 2023 Scotland’s Fish & Chip Awards - is officially Scotland’s firstdog-friendly fish and chip shop, with the launch of a dedicated menu for diners’ pooches.

The new dog-friendly menu, costing £2.00, has been created out of love for our four-legged friends and includes beef sausages and ‘puppucinnos’, a perfect doggie distraction while owners tuck into Cromars delicious fish and chips.

  50% of all sales generated will be donated to the Scottish SPCA to help tackle the animal welfare crisis in Scotland and improve support for animals and people across the country.

With approximately 13.5million dogs as pets in the UK equating to 36% of households owning a dog; 83% of people say they feel guilty leaving their dog behind when they go on holiday, 67% will plan their breaks around their dog, and 56% will opt to take their pooch away with them, the new menu launch is well timed to capitalise on domestic travel with dogs. Commenting on the launch, Wendy Napthine-Frame, Cromars’ owner, said:

“We are a nation of dog lovers, I have 3 dogs myself, so I know how much people love them and want them around as part of the family. We see so many people travelling with their dogs now, especially as we come into the Summer season, when the city is teaming with tourists and visitors.

“We are blessed in St Andrews with wonderful beaches and countryside, offering perfect walks for dogs and their owners, and for years Cromars has welcomed them all afterwards for a fish supper.

“I’ve often thought we should create a special menu for dogs, not least so that owners can eat our award-winning fish and chips in peace, without the pleading eyes and the nose-nudges that as dog owners we allunderstand.

“So, we have done just that with the introduction of our new menu, which is catering for doggies and doing good by helping support the tremendous work that the SSPCA does in Scotland.”

Cromars was established in 2013 and is one of Scotland’s best loved fish and chip shops. It specialises in making the very best fish and chips adhering to three key pillars of quality: fish is only ever cooked to order, only the very best ‘angel cut’ Haddock is used, caught from the North Sea, and locally sourced ingredients.

Cromars is multi-award winning for the quality of its fish and chips, recently crowned ‘best fish supper on the east coast of Scotland’ at the 2023 Scotland’s Fish & Chip Awards.

Cromars’ owner Wendy Napthine-Frame has fishing in her blood. Born and raised in Peterhead, the largest landing port for fish in the UK, with a large extended family all working in the fishing industry either on boats or in the markets, Wendy has an innate understanding of what constitutes the best quality fish, along with the connections to source the very best that Scotland has to offer. Wendy regularly takes a ‘fry’ around to the homes of friends and family. Forget wine, chocolate or flowers, a fry is a box of the very best fish to eat as a treat.
