Chip Shop Finds A Hit With Buckfast Fritters
Feb 28 2008 By Craig McDonald
A CHIPPY'S Buckfast fritters have proved a hit with customers.
Some have travelled 40 miles to tuck into David Tomlinson's savoury treat .
He came up with a batter made using the tonic wine in a bid to boost sales at Mr Chips in Girvan, Ayrshire. He got through 1000 fritters within days.

Diners can even drench them in his Buckfast vinegar. David, 58, said: "We've even had people down from Saltcoats just to buy the fritters."

Buckfast is often mentioned in court as a contributing factor in violent attacks.
But David insists his fritters are safe - as any alcohol is burned off in the fryer. David, who is vice-president of the National Federation of Fish Fryers, said: "We are doing them for 35p each - or you can have two on a roll for £1.

"Because we are trying to keep it healthy, there is no butter on the roll. I'm actually describing it as 'the healthy fritter' because Buckfast is a tonic wine."
