Scotland’s first dog-friendly chippy, Cromars Classic Fish & Chips in St Andrews, continues to make tails wag with its dedicated doggy menu – now even better for 2025. Since launching last year, the award-winning fish and chip shop has sold over 2,000 doggy suppers, raising an impressive £1,500 for the Scottish SPCA.

And now, Cromars is giving pups even more to drool over, with a refreshed menu featuring nutritious sardines, full of essential fatty acids and proteins, and homemade doggy biscuits, ensuring four-legged diners can continue to tuck into tasty, tail-wagging treats while supporting a great cause.

The popular dog-friendly chippy menu, costing £2.00, includes sausages and ‘puppucinnos’, a perfect doggie distraction while owners tuck into Cromars’ delicious fish and chips. One year on from the launch of the doggy menu, Cromars continues to pledge 50% of its ongoing sales to the SSPCA.

Wendy Napthine-Frame, Cromars’ owner, said:

“As a nation of dog lovers, we know how much people cherish their four-legged friends as part of the family, I have three dogs myself! St Andrews is a fantastic destination for dog owners, especially in Spring and Summer, when visitors flock to enjoy the town’s stunning beaches and countryside with their pups.

“Cromars has always been a popular stop after a seaside stroll, and we’re delighted that our doggy menu has been such a hit – not only giving pups a special treat but also raising £1,500 for the Scottish SPCA in just a year. With our new 2025 menu, featuring nutritious sardines and homemade doggy biscuits, we’re making sure there’s even more to wag about!”

In the UK, there are approximately 13.5 million dogs as pets, equating to 36% of households owning a dog. Of those with man’s best friend living under their roofs, 83% of people say they feel guilty leaving their dog behind when they go on holiday, with 67% of individuals planning their breaks around their dog.

Claire Burns, Fundraising Lead (East) of the Scottish SPCA, said:

“We’re incredibly grateful to Cromars and their customers for raising £1,500 to support our work in protecting Scotland’s animals. It’s fantastic to see a business not only welcoming four-legged diners but also giving back to help animals in need. Every doggy supper enjoyed at Cromars has made a real difference, and we’re thrilled to see their commitment continue with an exciting new menu for 2025.”
