Fish and chip shop launches Christmas dinner with a twist – & reckons punters will love it
A FISH and chip shop has launched its own fun festive feast — a deep-fried Christmas dinner.
Turkey, sprouts, pigs-in-blankets and stuffing balls are all battered and served on chips along with tubs of rich gravy and cranberry sauce.
However, revellers trying to get in shape for office parties are warned the £15 blow-out weighs in at a belt-busting 1,500 calories.
And that is before those with a sweet tooth add a battered mince pie with warm custard or a Bailey’s– infused hot chocolate for £4.50.
The mega-meal will be sold throughout December by prize-winning Cromars in St Andrews, Fife.
Owner Wendy Napthine-Frame told The Sun: “We love finding new ways to reinvent classic fish and chip shop dishes and this felt like a really fun, festive way to do that.
“I think it’s going to go down really well with customers.
“We’ve got battered turkey, battered sprouts, and battered stuffing, topped off with crispy golden chips, cranberry sauce, and a tub of gravy.”
She added: “The only thing we didn’t batter was the carrots because we thought we should leave something healthy on the plate!
“We’re hoping this deep-fried twist on the traditional Christmas dinner will give everyone a good laugh.
“I’ve tried and tasted everything — it’s fabulous.”
Earlier this year, the fish and chip shop became Scotland’s first to launch dedicated dog-friendly dishes.
The £2 menu includes beef sausages and “puppuccinos”.
