Susan Ord the Business Owner of Land &
Sea Fish & Chip Shop who is allergic to fish has never had
Fish & Chips in her life, so when her next door neighbour
who has Coeliac Disease approached her to see if her shop could
provide Gluten & Wheat-Free Fish & Chips she was inspired
by the idea!
Many customers had asked before in the past
about providing Gluten-Free Fish & Chips but because our
industry knew so little about it posed quite a challenge, first
of all to find a batter mix suitable for deep frying but also
a supplier. Neither were easy to find with only one supplier
in Scotland willing to supply, not only that, it was apparent
that there was not even a batter mix on the market specifically
for frying.
Undetered by this Susan launched the first
ever dedicated gluten & wheat-free Fish & Chip Day in
February 2004 and was a hugh success with people from all over
Scotland on a snowy winters day. They are still held on
the 1st Saturday of every month from 12pm till 2.30pm.
Everyone enjoyed their long awaited Fish &
Chips however, it wasn't quite like the real thing - Susan agreed.
So the search began!
Susan approached her current supplier of batter
mixes to see if it was possible to produce a Fish & Chip
Shop Style Gluten & Wheat-Free Batter that was authentic,
crispy, golden and delicious. In short we didn't want
to notice the difference. Today, Land & Sea Fish &
Chip Shop, Scotland's No.1 Fish & Chip Shop brings you Glu-2-Go.
The
1st ever Fish & Chip Shop Batter mix
which
is Gluten & Wheat-Free.
Glu-2Go holds the
cross grain symbol for quality assurance. At last the opportunity
to enjoy all your favourites again such as Battered Haddock,
Cod, Chicken, Onion Rings and many more!
It is Susan's vision to put Fish & Chips
back on the menu for everyone - well except for Susan that is.
Help us make it a thing of the past by raising awareness with
your local quality Fish & Chip Shop. Glu-2-Go Fish
& Chip Shop Batter Mix will be available to all Chippies
