CATCH Fish and Chips: Modern British Fare with Global Ambition

Introduction

There’s something universally comforting about fish and chips. But what if the experience could be elevated without losing its soul? That’s the idea behind CATCH Fish and Chips, a standout brand from Glasgow now set to expand across the Middle East with support from Gulf Franchise Group.

Reimagining the Chippy Experience

CATCH was created with a mission: to offer high-quality, cooked to order seafood in an atmosphere that’s inviting, casual, and distinctly modern. While its signature battered haddock remains at the heart of the menu, the brand goes far beyond the basics.

Guests can indulge in tempura king prawns, Catch Fritto Misto, chicken tempura burgers, and even vegan sausages and fish fillets - crafted to appeal to today’s diverse and health-conscious consumer.

Loaded, Local, and Loved

What truly sets CATCH apart is its loaded chips - fries topped with combinations like spicy mac & cheese, crispy bacon with chillies, or salt & pepper curry sauce. These items are not just popular - they’re Instagram-ready and menu drivers.

A Focus on Freshness and Sustainability

CATCH’s sourcing philosophy is equally compelling. The brand works with Scottish coastal fisheries that meet best-practice standards, and everything is cooked to order. Even the twice-cooked chips are hand-cut from potatoes peeled fresh each day, and oil is responsibly recycled.

CATCH Expands with Gulf Franchise Group

With a proven model and widespread appeal, CATCH is now poised for international growth. Gulf Franchise Group is supporting this next phase of expansion, connecting the brand with experienced operators in the GCC.

“We are fully prepared to collaborate with the right franchising partner to introduce our brand to Dubai, the GCC, and beyond,” says Giancarlo Celino, Founder and CEO of CATCH.

“CATCH is one of those brands that balances authenticity with innovation,” says Paul Cairnie, CEO of Gulf Franchise Group. “It’s accessible, crave-worthy, and ready for the next stage.”

Conclusion

CATCH Fish and Chips offers a compelling opportunity for franchisees seeking a fast-casual concept with substance, sustainability, and standout flavour. As it prepares to cast its net across the Middle East, this award-winning chippy is proving that a great idea, well executed, can truly travel.
