NEODA writes about The biggest day in the fish & chip calendar – National Fish & Chip Day 2023 returns for it’s eight year on 2 June 2023 with two new joint headline sponsors – The Q Partnership (comprising Henry Colbeck, V A Whitley and Friars Pride) and Middleton Foods.

The event has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2015 and despite the restrictions, nearly 50 million people would have seen, heard or read about the awareness day last year.  National TV, radio and newspapers featured stories as did the regional media.  Social media was awash with fish and chip stories with our hashtag #nationalfishandchipday and we were number 1 on Twitter from 8 a.m. and stayed there all day long!

We want to celebrate this amazing industry who are at the centre of every community and who have, when able to do so safely, kept us fed, and when that wasn’t possible kept us all safe by remaining closed at great sacrifice to their business.

Thank you to this amazing industry that made National Fish & Chip Day 2022 the best yet as NEODA brought together everyone involved in creating this iconic British dish; from Fish & Chip shops, pub chains, restaurants, retailers, to the fishermen and farmers who provide the sustainable and natural ingredients needed to create this family favourite.  In the meantime, stay safe. 

NEODA was established in 1947. Its members include edible oil and fats refiners, processors, distributors, waste oil collectors (who also sell fresh oil). It also covers manufacturers and suppliers of non oil products (including batter mix, sausages, packaging, potato preservatives) and other industry bodies.
