The Harry Ramsden’s story started small, but with big ambitions, in 1928 when his first takeaway outlet opened in a hut in Guiseley, Yorkshire.
His top quality fish and chips brought customers visiting from all over. He soon needed bigger premises to accommodate them all, duly building a new restaurant in 1931, with stylish décor modelled on the Ritz. On its 21st birthday in 1952, a world record 10,000 people were served fish & chips.
Harry Ramsden’s is now famous as the biggest fish and chip shop brand in the world. The man himself was a stickler for quality, and today we’re committed to maintaining his impeccable standards, providing affordable fish and chips and working with suppliers using responsible fishing practices.
