Musselburgh takeaway launches chippy sauce recycling scheme

A Musselburgh-based fish and chip shop has launched a glass bottle recycling scheme for its own branded sauce.

East Coast Fish & Chips on North High Street has been selling around 6,000 litres of its chippy sauce every year since 1974.

Customers are now also being encouraged to return and recycle their empty glass bottles to get 50p off their next purchase.

East Coast is owned and operated by Carlo and Katia Crolla, with the family business serving the local community for nearly 50 years.

Carlo said: “As an independent, family business, we’re proud to have served fish and chip fans from Musselburgh, around East Lothian and Edinburgh since 1974.

“Salt 'n' sauce has always been part of the chip shop tradition across this part of Scotland, so we like to honour that tradition with our very own branded East Coast chippy sauce.

“We’re also keen to do our bit to help the environment, so we sell our chippy sauce in glass bottles.

“Our glass bottle return scheme allows our loyal customers to recycle with us and to get 50p off their next bottle of chippy sauce too.”

East Coast was recently named the ‘best in Scotland’ and one of the top 10 in the UK by The Sunday Times.
