In Blyth, Northumberland, Coastline Fish & Chip Restaurant is a local institution. For 25 years, the family-run chippy has been serving locals and visiting tourists with the freshest, premium quality fish and chips.
Located in a former games arcade, Coastline has become the star of the show and taken centre stage on the Blyth seafront, as Domenico says: “Coastline has literally transformed the seafront. Our passion for serving a quality British classic has seen us put our heart and soul into Blyth beach, and our investment has certainly encouraged development of the area.”
Born to Italian parents, it’s no surprise Domenico’s passion is gelato and so, the family opened Ciccarelli Gelateria and Coastline. “The arcade is a large premises, and we needed something alongside Ciccarelli. So, we opened Coastline as well. Fish and chips brought people to Blyth! We employ 100 staff during peak summer season, making us one of the area’s largest employers; and have a fantastic reputation, of which we’re very proud.”
From day one, when Coastline opened, Domenico has used Middleton Foods products: “I did my research prior to opening, and the one name which kept being mentioned was Middleton Foods. Reliable. Reputable. A family business, like ours. I needed to work with them, and I’m very happy to say I’ve never looked back. I will never use anyone else.” Domenico uses Middleton Foods curry sauce, gravy and Allgold batter mix. “Middleton’s Allgold has been a staple from the start. We started with Allgold. We continue to use Allgold. We’ve never changed. It gives a medium colour and finished batter texture which our customers love. It appeals to our Northern customer-base and holds fantastically in the hot cupboard.”
“Our relationship with Middleton Foods is great, and working with Lee is brilliant. Lee is always available, and always able to support our business with solutions that satisfy our needs. We’ve recently been working with Lee to use Middleton Foods’ unique coating system, Rooster’s, to enhance our menu with a fried chicken offering.”
“Middleton Foods is a massive part of Coastline’s success,” concludes Domenico, proudly.
