The Carrier Strike Group is currently in the Mediterranean and will then head off to Asia in the coming months.

The 65,000 tonne Queen Elizabeth-class carrier has been described as a ‘floating city’, which means that there are many mouths to be fed on-board to keep her running smoothly during the deployment.

On Friday, HMS Queen Elizabeth’s official twitter account gave a glimpse inside the kitchen – to mark national fish and chip day.

The account wrote: ‘Taking the oppor-tuna-ty to wish you all a happy National Fish and Chips day.

‘For those of us on board without a calendar, Fish and Chips is often the only reminder that it's a Friday!’

And also shared a number of pictures from inside the kitchen.
