We are proud to show support for our local chip shops and look forward to welcoming customers old and new to join Sarson’s Fryday at Coral Island Blackpool – where our famous kids eat free deal is available all day everyday!”.

Vanni Cataldi, Marketing Director at Sarson’s’ Brand Owner, Mizkan Euro adds; “Now in its second year, Sarson’s Fryday has one aim; to support the Fish & Chip shop industry during unequivocally challenging operational conditions - a result of which has seen many operators having to shut their doors and switch off their fryers in droves.

“So far, we’ve reimbursed hundreds of free meals to households who are feeling the pinch themselves, whilst putting money directly into the tills of the hard-working Chippy operators who keep this iconic British culinary institution alive.

This summer, we plan to go one step further, by giving away one tonne of free chips to the nation. From Brighton, to Blackpool, Newquay to Newcastle, however Brits plan to splosh on the Sarson’s, we urge them to visit their local chippy…with the added incentive that their tea, might just be free! Together we can batter this crisis, one chip at a time.”
