AUCKLEY FRIERY

'Seriously Good Award Winning
Fish & Chips'

About

My name is David and here are Kerry, Sveta and Leanne with our Q Award. I opened Auckley Friery in the Christmas of 2003 and slowly started building a great village Fish & Chip shop. In 2006 I made the decision to focus solely on delivering great fish and chips without any distraction from kebabs and the like. That was a real turning point for the team and the business started to grow and go from strength to strength.

In 2017 we noticed our faithful old gas guzzling range was starting to show its years. While we were putting in a new high efficiency range, we thought the shop should have a fresh new look to go with it. After a huge refit we were back up and running in January 2018 with a very chic and pretty looking shop which we are incredibly proud of.

2018 also saw us become members of the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF), the trade body of the industry. This led us to enter competitions including the Fry Magazine Top 50 Takeaways in the UK which is an outstanding achievement when there was around 12,000 Fish & Chip shops in the UK. We currently hold several awards including Top 10 Takeaway in the UK. We have became not just a village Fish & Chip shop but also a destination one too.

We genuinely put quality at the heart of everything we do, from the sourcing of our MSC certified Cod and Haddock wrapped in a batter that is free of additives, our own handmade fishcakes, the natural seasonings we use in our peas to making our own BBQ, Tartare and Garlic Mayo Sauce.

We source the highest standard of ingredients. This is our ethic and quality is paramount. Our MSc Cod and Haddock is of the highest grade, caught in Iceland waters and then frozen at sea. It is defrosted in our specialist thaw cabinet to slowly bring the temperature up to 1c ready for trimming and sizing for the day ahead.

We have a high efficiency range that is so fast we can cook all our fish to order and chips are twice cooked in separate baskets in small quantities so your chips are always fresh, crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. Our potatoes are usually grown within a few miles of our shop, nothing like locally sourced!

We make own fishcakes using our MSc Fish Trimmings, poached in whole milk and butter. Deep fry Halloumi with our gorgeous Chilli jam. We are also looking into making some more in house products.

All our handmade sauces such as BBQ, Garlic Mayo and Tartare Sauce are made to our own recipe using quality ingredients such as liquid smoke and our own Sous Vide confit garlic.

We sincerely love what we do and we hope that comes through in the quality and service of our food.

Good To Know


FISH
We hero the last real hunted food on the planet, and we should as people risk their lives every day to find it and bring it home to us. We only use the highest grade sustainable MSC Certified Cod and Haddock Fillets as this ensures the next generation will be able to enjoy this amazing product. We hold MSC certification to ensure traceability back through the supply chain. This guarantees we only purchase from sustainable well managed fisheries.

Our fish is frozen at sea which means it is caught, filleted and frozen within 6 hours. That effectively stops the clock until we take it out of the freezer and allow it to gently defrost in our dedicated thaw cabinet. This means that your fish is less than 24 hours old when it reaches the fryer and much fresher than wet landed catches. This way we can ensure quality and freshness of our product.

OIL
We use only RSPO sustainable Palm oil in our cooking. RSPO are not just about the oil, although they ensure the protection of native animals habitats and no clearing of rainforests. They also utilise natural pest control techniques. RSPO also about benefitting the environment and protecting the growers. RSPO estimates that there are at least 7 million smallholders, usually just simple households, that earn a living (fully or partially) from oil palm worldwide, with 3.1 million of those in Africa. Healthcare and protected rights are now a reality.

It is also low in cholesterol and tastes fabulous !


PACKAGING & PLASTICS
We virtually removed all of the single use plastics from our business back in 2020. Our boxes are either corrugated cardboard or bio-degradable containers for customers eating on the go. Our forks are made from Beech wood, due to new legislation we can no longer offer plastic forks as an alternative . We certainly can’t save the planet from Auckley but we certainly can play our part however small that is.

RECYCLING
As a matter of course all our waste packaging (cardboard, paper, plastics and glass) is collected for recycling. Further to that all our waste palm oil is collected and then made into biodiesel.

REFOOD
We recently partnered with Re-Food to prevent our food waste going to landfill. All the food we throw away from fish prep, to scraps and the oddments left at the end of the shift all are sent to re-food. They render them down using a biodigester producing fertilser that goes back to growing our potatoes and the methane produced is used to produce power. We have managed to close a very big loop in our waste. The upshot being that we are preventing around 100kg of waste entering landfill every week, which is astounding.

We made the decision to skip all the little local awards and shoot for the top. The industry have two national award schemes. Those are the Fry Magazine 50 and the National Fish and Chip Awards. The Fry 50 are based on two unannounced mystery shopper visits to the shop and the scores are averaged. You have to get over 98% to get in and we managed 100% on both visits over the last two years. This is a paid to enter competition.

The big one is the National Fish and Chip Awards. This is free to enter but is a multi round Top 40, Top 20 and Top 10. Its involved, its stressful and its fairly grueling as it pushes you completely out of your comfort zone. The final Top 10 meet in London in late February to find out who is 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

In 2023 we were placed in the Top 10 of all fish and chips shops in the uk, which we are incredibly proud of.
