Our story
Three generations. Same trade. Same doorstep service.
John Carr & Son started supplying fish & chip shops in the west of Scotland decades ago, and it has stayed a family business ever since. The name over the door is still the name on the invoice, and the people who plan the runs are the people you speak to when you call.
Over 45 years on, we supply more than 100 regular shops across Glasgow, Renfrewshire, Ayrshire and Lanarkshire — most of them supplied week in, week out.
