TWO iconic British institutions are joining forces to spread fish and chip joy across the nation.

Britain’s longest established restaurant chain - and provider of the UK’s favourite meal - Harry Ramsden, is dishing up its world-famous fish and chips in all 82 of Mecca Bingo clubs around the country, including Hartlepool, Scarborough, Stockton, Sunderland, and York.

For a partnership made in heaven, Mecca Bingo is the plaice to be to enjoy the nation’s favourite meal, with bingo-goers able to order a selection of dishes from Harry Ramsden’s menu straight to their seats.

The menu, which was launched nationwide in early July, includes cod bites, scampi, and pies - all freshly prepared in the club’s kitchen, following Harry’s traditional family recipe. There really is no batter way to enjoy an evening at the bingo.

National Food & Beverage Manager for Mecca Bingo, Cath Hannam, says: “It’s incredibly exciting to bring two iconic British brands together, merging traditions, and giving our customers the opportunity to enjoy world-class fish and chips whilst they play.

“Our teams have been working hard behind the scenes to get everything ready, and we know our customers will love the partnership as much as we do.”

Business Development Manager for Harry Ramsden, Malcolm Heslop, said: “We’re always looking for new ways to expand and share our menu with foodies across the UK. Partnering with Mecca is a great way to do this, and we’re pleased to be bringing a selection of our dishes to customers in Mecca clubs around the country through our ‘’Proudly Serving Harry Ramsden’’ concept.”
