Fish and chip giant Harry Ramsden's has partnered with one of Europe's biggest ferry operators to serve the classic dish on the high seas.
Launching in spring 2025, passengers travelling on DFDS routes between Dover and Calais and Dover and Dunkirk will be able to enjoy Harry Ramsden's world-famous fish and chips through an innovative 'Proudly Serving' model.
The rollout across six DFDS vessels is expected to be completed by Easter 2025.
The partnership will introduce Harry Ramsden’s to a fleet that includes three º£½ÇÊÓÆµ-flagged and three French-flagged ships, such as Delft Seaways, Dover Seaways, and Dunkerque Seaways.
This marks a significant step in delivering the quintessentially British culinary experience to travellers across the channel.
Freshly prepared using sustainably sourced ingredients
The 'Proudly Serving' model ensures that every dish is freshly prepared using sustainably sourced ingredients, including Harry Ramsden’s secret-recipe batter and premium potatoes grown on trusted British farms.
Extensive training, branded packaging, and operational oversight support the model, guaranteeing the same high standards that Harry Ramsden's customers know and love.
Sustainability remains central to operations. All fish is MSC-certified, sourced from responsibly managed fisheries, and served in fully recyclable packaging.
This philosophy aligns perfectly with DFDS's commitment to sustainable operations and a greener future.
