Blackpool FC has announced a new partnership with the iconic fish and chip brand Harry Ramsden's. The business deal brings together two names deeply associated with the seaside town.
Harry Ramsden's, founded in 1928, operates a 200-seat restaurant within The Blackpool Tower, the town's most iconic landmark. The brand is a staple of the coastal visitor experience, known for its golden batter, hand-cut chips, and a welcoming atmosphere that has made it part of British culture for nearly a century. Families have travelled from across the country to its restaurants, which are often linked with entertainment for younger visitors, including characters like Blackpool-born Sooty and Sweep.
The partnership is a business collaboration between Blackpool Football Club and the restaurant chain. It connects a club that represents the area on a national stage with a brand that has a long-standing connection to Blackpool's visitor economy. Harry Ramsden's continues to focus on its original offering of quality fish and chips, maintaining a sense of occasion for seaside days out and family gatherings. This alliance aims to leverage the recognisable power of both institutions.
The announcement comes as Blackpool enjoys a solid start to the League One campaign. The team currently sits 6th in the table with 4 points from their opening two matches, recording one win and one draw. Their recent form reads WD, and they have scored 3 goals while conceding 2, giving them a +1 goal difference. They are just 2 points behind the early leaders, Bradford City. The next test is an away trip to face Barnsley, who are 21st, on 2nd September. Fans can track the team's progress on the standings page and view the full schedule on our fixtures list.
Harry Ramsden's is more than just a restaurant in Blackpool; it is woven into the fabric of the town's shared memories. From its humble beginnings in a small wooden hut in Guiseley, West Yorkshire, the brand grew into a national institution. Its presence in The Blackpool Tower solidifies its status as a destination in its own right. For generations, a visit to Harry Ramsden's has been synonymous with a family day out at the coast, making its partnership with the local football club a natural fit. The deal highlights how both entities contribute to the town's identity.
Focus now returns to the pitch as Blackpool prepares for their next league fixture. The partnership with Harry Ramsden's adds to the off-field activity at Bloomfield Road. On the field, the immediate objective is to build on their promising start and close the gap at the top of League One. The match against Barnsley presents an opportunity to add another positive result before the early season table takes shape. Supporters can find detailed player information on the squad page as the team looks to maintain its positive momentum.
