Wishaw chippy marking International Pineapple Day by giving away free fritters
Toni's Fish & Chips in Wishaw will be giving away 500 free pineapple fritters to in-store customers in partnership with Dole Packaged Foods Europe, to celebrate International Pineapple Day.
A Wishaw chippy is giving away free Dole pineapple fritters in celebration of International Pineapple Day.
On Friday, June 27, Toni's Fish & Chips in Wishaw will be giving away 500 free pineapple fritters to in-store customers in partnership with Dole Packaged Foods Europe, to celebrate International Pineapple Day.
The partnership comes after recent research from Dole found that 13 per cent of the Scottish public would be willing to try pineapple as part of their fish & chip dish, with almost one-in-five (18 per cent) men daring to add a Hawaiian twist to the classic delicacy*.
Dole have teamed up with Toni's Fish & Chips to encourage local Wishaw residents to try the challenge themselves.
The takeaway shop has recently gone viral on TikTok for its bold and innovative battered creations, amassing over 23,000 followers and 206,000 likes.
The first 500 customers who visit Toni's from 11am on Friday, June 27, will have the option to add a free pineapple fritter side to their order.
Tao Baidoun, Brand Manager at Dole Packaged Foods, said: 'With our recent research revealing that Brits are willing to try out more sweet and savoury combos, what better way to blend the two together than adding a sweet Hawaiian side to a classic savoury UK takeaway, and what better time to do so than International Pineapple Day!
'Our partnership with Toni's allows people to get the best of both worlds and bring a tropical twist to their Friday dish.'
North Lanarkshire residents interested in enjoying a tasty free side can visit Toni's Fish & Chips at 40 Kirk Rd. The 500 free fritters are first come, first serve.

Celtic chief Peter Lawwell 'revelled' in Rangers' downfall
The pair knew each other well through their work in the steel and mining industries before Lawwell took on the role of Celtic chief exec in 2003. However, it was at this point that Murray claims Lawwell, now chairman of Celtic, had 'completely changed trajectory'. In his new autobiography 'Mettle: Tragedy, Courage and Titles' - on sale from Thursday, July 3 with royalties going to Esrkine Hospital - Murray insists Lawwell held too much power with those who were influential in Scottish football. He wrote: 'Peter was someone I knew previously. One of my companies, GM Mining, did business with Scottish Coal where Peter worked. 'I once invited him and his wife to Ibrox for a game. He was delighted to accept and back then was good company. 'But by the time he rose to become chief executive of Celtic, he was on a completely different trajectory. Read more: 'For nearly two decades he tried to build up a seat of power and I honestly believe he was wielding far too much influence in Scottish football. 'At one point, after I sold Rangers, it seemed he was positively revelling in the demise of the club. 'With very few influential or credible figures working to Rangers' benefit he was a pivotal figure.'
