Alfie Grimshaw operates on a simple ethos of always buying and using the best that we can from equipment to ingredients, this is how it all works together to ensure we create consistent quality food: Frying rangeWe use a world leading Florigo range which was built to our design and incorporated the first touch screen controls to be used in this country, the quality of this range and it’s controls ensures that we achieve a very consistent temperature for cooking. A consistent high temperature is essential for the food to cook in the oil and not absorb the oil. The frying range is also built with high efficiency burners which reduces the use of gas and is much more energy efficient.
OilWe are using British Farmed and Processed Rape Seed Oil, this cooks really well and has a very mild flavour.
PotatoesAll of our chips are prepared on the premises from the best potatoes we can source.
Our potato of preference is always Maris Pipers and we try to utilise these for as much of the year as possible.
However at the end of the season we will always run out of these and have to utilise other varieties for 2 - 3 months.
All our chips are twice fried with the objective of achieving the perfect chip with a crispy outer and fluffy tasty inner.
FishThe Fish we use is either fresh from British docks or Frozen at Sea, as we are located so far from any port then Frozen at Sea is often best for us because, just like frozen peas, it is frozen within 6 hours of being caught and is therefore a maximum of 2 days old when served to you.
We always ensure that we have full traceability of all the Fish that we buy.
Our primary objective when purchasing fish is the quality and the freshness this invariably comes at a price but it is one that we feel is crucial to maintaining the quality that we are commited to.
PackagingAll fish is served in corrugated boxes which preserves the quality of the food but are fully recyclable.
All other products are served in Bio-degradable packaging which can be recycled as card or composted.
All customers are asked if they require a bag. Where possible ‘treesaver’ paper bags are utilised. Fresh and healthy ingredients Fish and Chips are made from fresh ingredients, i.e. Fish and Potatoes,
this is a good basis for a healthy and nutritious meal. |
