THE UK’s top 40 fish and chip shops have been revealed – has yours made the cut?

After an extensive judging process the best chippies in the country can be named, all hoping to be crowned Britain’s best.

Andrew Cook, president of the National Federation of Fish Friers, organiser of the awards said: “The calibre of entries for the National Fish and Chip Awards 2024 have been nothing short of fantastic and we are proud of all the eateries that clearly put in huge amounts of effort to be considered for the accolade.
