How your Fish and Chip shop can batter the competition

Did you know there are around 10,500 specialist fish and chip shops in the UK? That means fish and chip shops outnumber other fast food outlets. With that amount of fish and chip shops how do you stand out from the crowd?

Gluten Free Fish and Chips

Allergy UK has reported a fourfold increase in the amount of people diagnosed with coeliac disease in the UK since 1990. This staggering rate has since fueled the demand for ‘free from’ products. This gives you a great opportunity to appeal to this new market, as there is now a range of new gluten free batter mixes and flours which means people with Coeliac can enjoy Fish and Chips once again.
