Nestled in the picturesque seaside village of Benllech, Finney’s Fish & Chip Shop has been delighting locals and visitors alike since 2009. This family-run business was established with a single goal: to offer high-quality, wholesome, and memorable fish and chips by the coast.
Named after a childhood nickname in the family, “Finney’s” reflects the warm, welcoming, and family-centred values that underpin everything they do. Whether it’s loyal locals or holidaying tourists, everyone is made to feel like part of the extended Finney’s family.
Owner Carol Hulme, who proudly runs the shop, is committed to doing things the right way – from making as much as they can homemade, to maintaining their Coeliac UK accreditation. Finney’s makes full use of Middleton Foods’ extensive Gluten Free product range, helping them cater confidently to coeliac and gluten-sensitive customers. Their line-up includes a bespoke Gluten Free Batter, Gluten Free Curry Sauce, as well as Gluten Free Gravy, Gluten Free Southern Fry Gravy, and a selection of Gluten Free Breadings.
Thanks to Middleton Foods’ Gluten Free range, Finney’s has crafted a menu that doesn’t compromise on taste or texture. Their gluten free fish and chips are light, crispy, and cooked fresh to order – so good that most customers don’t even realise they’re gluten free! Carol explains, “We’ve worked with Middleton Foods over the years to develop a batter that’s light, holds less oil, and tastes incredible. It’s unnoticeably gluten free and that’s exactly what we wanted.”
But Finney’s success with gluten free dishes doesn’t stop at fish and chips. Their bespoke gluten free curry sauce, developed with Middleton Foods, is fast becoming one of their most popular sides. “It has the perfect blend of fruity and spicy with just enough of a kick to keep everyone happy. The process of creating the custom sauce was refreshingly simple and fast. And the results speak for themselves: two different customers with different tastes, both loving the same product.” Carol says.
Behind this success is a strong partnership with Middleton Foods and their account manager, Lee Woodward as Carol praises the relationship they’ve built over the years: “Lee is lovely, funny, honest, and always there when you need help, whether it’s giving menu advice or new product information – he’s awesome!”
For Finney’s, choosing Middleton Foods has always been about more than just the product – it’s about the people, the shared values, and the ability to create something special together. From bespoke gluten free innovations to on-the-ground support from a trusted account manager, Middleton Foods has become a key part of the Finney’s story.
Carol Hulme’s final word? “I would definitely recommend Middleton Foods – they’re all you can really ask for.”
