We’re serious about quality and consistency.

We develop products and solutions for busy food operators who need to serve premium food consistently, whether that’s fish and chips, pizza or chicken.

It’s no surprise that fish and chip shops remain at the heart of our business — it’s where we began. Today, our products are relied upon by pubs, restaurants, caterers and food businesses across the UK and beyond.

Everything we produce is designed to deliver consistency, streamline processes, and eliminate guesswork.

Created by people who have run fish & chip shops

Ceres was founded by Stelios Theocharous, a former fish & chip shop operator.

The business began with a simple problem: the batter available wasn’t good enough. It was inconsistent, unreliable, and not suited to real service conditions.

So Stelios created something better, and from there the range grew to include sauce mixes, coatings, cleaning products, and labelling solutions.

Today, that same approach still drives everything we do: understand the problem, then create a product to solve it.

We create systems, not just products

We don’t create products in isolation, we design them to work seamlessly together in real service conditions and enhance the quality of the final product.

• Batter mixes designed for consistency
• Pre-dust and coating systems that work with our batter mixes to improve control and adhesion
• Sauces, gravy mixes and flavour systems created for output and repeatability
• Cleaning and supporting products designed for commercial use
• Bespoke systems tailored specifically to your operation

The reality of running a food business

We understand the demands of high volume, high paced foodservice environments.

• Batter changes as service goes on
• Different staff produce different results
• Small inconsistencies become bigger problems, affecting speed, waste and margin
• Supply issues interrupt flow when you need it most

Most suppliers are too far removed from this reality. We’re not, and our products reflect this.
