In 1997, Larry and Amanda Kellaway took over the well-established Golden Fry chip shop in the Cornish village of Threemilestone, just outside Truro. Over two decades later, the family business has evolved into Kellaways – a modern fish and chip shop that honours its traditional roots while embracing innovation.
“Over the past 21 years we’ve updated and refurbished in keeping with industry changes – always focusing on high quality, while maintaining traditional values,” says Lauren Kellaway, Manager and Director since 2015. The Kellaway family’s commitment to progress has seen the business thrive over the years and their dedication was recognised in 2019 when Lauren won the Drywite Young Fish Frier of the Year award. In 2025, the shop achieved third place in the prestigious National Fish and Chip Awards 2025 – a testament to their consistency and excellence.
Kellaways offers a menu that combines tradition and quality, from cod, haddock and battered sausages to burgers made with locally sourced meat. Their medium cod and battered sausages are the most popular items, both coated in Middleton Foods’ Gold Batter. “Batter is a massive part of fish and chips,” Lauren explains. “We’ve been going for 28 years because we use good quality products that fry consistently and deliver the same quality week in, week out. Middleton Foods’ batter delivers exactly that.” Kellaways also serves Middleton’s Smooth & Spicy Curry Sauce – another customer favourite that complements their focus on flavour and consistency.
Lauren’s partnership with Middleton Foods extends beyond the product itself. Having visited the factory in Willenhall, she was impressed by its investment in technology and innovation. “It was great to see how much Middleton Foods has invested to make everything run so smoothly,” says Lauren. “Why would you not use a company that puts so much time, effort and money into making such a good product?”
She also credits Middleton’s outstanding customer support, particularly from Jason, their local representative. “Jason is amazing – always there if we need anything. The support from him and the team has been fantastic.” For Lauren and the Kellaway family, working with Middleton Foods is about shared values and pride in the fish and chip industry. “They genuinely care,” says Lauren. “It would be silly not to work with them.”
