🐟🍟 Day 2 at the Frying School of Excellence! 🎓

Another brilliant day of learning for Charlie, Jordan and Ben, getting expert advice from Mark Petrou and Gordon Hillan — both previous winners of the National Fish & Chip Shop of the Year awards! 👏

We covered everything from fish portioning and menu diversification to tackling the ever-rising cost of fish species such as cod, along with loads of practical ideas and best practices that we can bring back to the shop.

It’s been fantastic spending two days at the home of the manufacturers behind the high-efficiency frying ranges we use every day. We’ve really been able to dive into the finer details of what we do, sharpen our skills and look at ways we can keep improving.

Ultimately, it all comes back to one thing: making the best fish & chips we possibly can for you, our amazing customers in Southsea. ❤️🐟🍟

And we’re coming home with plenty of ideas…

👀 Stay tuned for some great-value menu options as we start putting everything we’ve learned over the last two days into practice!

Always learning. Always improving. And always striving to give Southsea great fish & chips!

Frying School of Excellence at kfeltd🎓🐟🍟

A brilliant first day at the Frying School of Excellence, with the team getting stuck into everything that goes into producing consistently great fish & chips.

Today we’ve been learning about oil management and frying best practices, getting batter just right, and looking at potato sourcing, preparation and what makes the perfect chip.

Then it was time to put some of it into practice! Charlie and Jordan from Fisherman’s Kitchen volunteered to step up to the fryers and cook haddock & chips for everyone’s lunch — no pressure then! 😅👏

Tomorrow gets even more hands-on, with fish cutting and preparing homemade sides on the agenda. Plenty more to learn and hopefully a few new tricks to bring home with us.

And don’t worry — we’re still OPEN as usual tomorrow! 🙌

Paul is taking the reins back at Fisherman’s Kitchen and will be serving up all your usual favourites while the rest of the team continue their training.

🐟🍟 Learning, improving, and always looking for ways to make your fish & chips even better.

🐟🍟 Come along with us!

Our friers have swapped the shop for the classroom and headed off to the Frying School of Excellence! 🎓

We’re always looking for ways to keep improving, so they’re brushing up on their skills, learning a few new tricks and making sure we’re serving you the very best fish & chips we can.

We’ll take you along for the journey… 👀🐟🍟

Who knows what they’ll come back knowing! 🎓

🐟 THIS WEEK’S FORGOTTEN FISH: LEMON SOLE! 🍋

You may have spotted our new Forgotten Fish & Chips on the menu. Each week, we’ll be giving a different unsung species its moment in the spotlight — a chance to try something a little different from the usual cod!

This week it’s Lemon Sole — a lovely delicate fish with a mild flavour and beautiful flaky fillets, freshly battered and served with our chips. 👌

With cod becoming more expensive and increasingly seen as a premium fish, there are plenty of other delicious species out there that deserve a place on your plate.

Give a different fish a go this week! 🐟🍟

✨ WE’RE BACK OPEN TODAY! ✨

After 2 very long days giving the shop a well-deserved refresh, we’re excited to open our doors again this morning! 🙌

There’s just one little snag… despite paying for pre 12pm delivery yesterday our brand-new restaurant furniture has been delayed and hasn’t quite made it to us yet! 🪑🚚

So, for this morning we’ll be TAKEAWAY ONLY while we wait for the new furniture to arrive.

The shop is looking fresh, we’re ready to go, and we can’t wait for you all to see the changes! ❤️

Pop in, say hello and grab your favourites to take away!

OPEN TODAY — TAKEAWAY ONLY THIS MORNING

Thank you as always for your patience and support! ❤️

☀️🐟 ONE LAST SUMMER WEEKEND! 🍟☀️

Where has the summer gone?! 😭

This weekend will be our LAST Sunday & Monday opening of the summer before we head back to our usual winter opening times.

So if you’ve been enjoying your Sunday or Monday chippy tea… you’ve got one last chance this weekend! 😋🐟🍟

But while our opening hours might be changing, we’ve got a few other changes planned too… 👀

Over the winter, we’re going to be showing the shop a bit of love and giving it a well-deserved refresh. ❤️

Nothing too fancy — we’re still your local chippy and we certainly don’t want to change that! — but there are a few things we’d like to improve, tidy up and bring up to date.

You might notice little changes appearing over the coming months… 👀🔨

We’ll share more when the time comes, but for now…

WATCH THIS SPACE! 👀

And more importantly — who’s joining us for one last Sunday or Monday chippy tea this bank holiday weekend?! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️🐟🍟
