‘Hot, crispy and cheeky’: Scottish chippy deep-fries the M&S strawberry and cream sandwich

Staff say customers come into Hook and Catch in Bearsden near Glasgow just to try it and film their first bite

Marks & Spencer has always been at the forefront of sandwich innovation, having launched the first pre-packed sandwich in the spring of 1980 and raising eyebrows this summer by selling one with strawberry and cream filling.

But now a Scottish chip shop has gone a step further, offering to batter and deep-fry the viral snack. In a video posted on TikTok, staff at Hook and Catch near Glasgow can be seen dipping M&S's controversial Strawberry and Creme" sandwich into batter, before deep-frying it, slicing it in half and serving with strawberry sauce.
