Getting your packaging right is vital to ensure your freshly cooked food — whether it's fish and chips or another meal — stays hot and in the best possible condition. Here’s a look at some of the options available. If you’d like additional information about any of the products below, please get in touch with our Friars Pride sales team by calling 01733 316400 or emailing sales@friarspride.com.
Hook & Fish Range
Environmentally friendly and specially crafted as a complete branding solution, the Hook & Fish range offers everything from boxes to bags. It provides a contemporary, fresh look while supporting portion control.
One of the standout features is the Fold It, Bin It corrugated box design, which allows for easy and effective disposal. Plus, these boxes are made from 90% recycled material and are fully recyclable, making them a sustainable choice.
Also included in the Hook & Fish range:
- MK Cartonboard Card Boxes – Fully enclosed, stacked, ready-made, and recyclable.
- Paper Bags – Available in a range of shapes and sizes; grease-resistant and lined for heat retention.
- Paper Carrier Bags – Choice of handle types; prevents food from sweating and deteriorating.
- Card Trays – Biodegradable, stackable, and ideal for portion control.
- Pots & Lids – Stackable for easy storage, quick to use, and support portion control.
- Greaseproof Paper, Napkins & Wooden Forks – Practical, visually appealing, and designed to complement your packaging.
Lite-BITE
The Lite-BITE box is a corrugated container designed for portion control. It helps protect food and keeps meals warm — ideal for customers seeking lighter options.
Here’s what can be served in a Lite-BITE box:
- A 6oz battered fish (or 4oz unbattered)
- A 6oz portion of chips (cooked weight)
- An optional 4oz side order of peas, gravy, or curry
Offering Lite-BITE meals could help increase lunchtime sales and attract customers looking for a smaller or healthier portion. Developed by the Q Partnership, the Lite-BITE concept supports portion control while helping you grow sales. It's also made from 100% recyclable board.
Why choose Lite-BITE?
- Generous portions – Customers perceive it as great value.
- Professional appearance – Corrugated packaging looks polished and high-quality.
- Strong eye appeal – The food fills the box and appears larger.
- Versatility – Suitable for meals beyond fish and chips.
Fresh & Tasty
The Fresh & Tasty range includes corrugated boxes and a variety of bags including a Twisted Handle bag option and two Carryout Bag options, ideal for walk-in customers, collections, and deliveries. Available in a range of sizes, they suit not just takeaways, but also pubs, cafés, and restaurants offering collection or delivery services.
The key feature of this recyclable packaging range is its fresh, modern design, offering great visual appeal. Like the Hook & Fish range and the Lite-BITE box, it provides excellent portion control and convenience.
The air holes in the corrugated box design help maintain temperature and prevent food from going soggy. And with its eye-catching look, the Fresh & Tasty range offers a perfect opportunity for a rebrand.
