Map reveals Britain’s 50 BEST fish & chip shops all scored over 95% by mystery diners – where does your hometown rank?
THE 50 best fish and chip shops across the UK have been revealed, with many scoring over 95 per cent.
Fry Magazine asked mystery diners to rate the restaurants and takeaways based on factors including cleanliness, food quality and value for money.
Yorkshire, in the North of England, did particularly well occupying a whopping 10 spots.
Surrey also ranked highly, appearing three times on the list with its top scoring chippies.
Organiser Reece Head, told The News she was impressed that these restaurants and takeaways were able to maintain affordable prices and “exceptional” standards of food.
“At a time when inflationary pressures are being felt, these businesses continue to stay positive and prioritise their customers,” she said.
She added that these shops had shown “resilience” adapting to today’s challenges, offering quality food to their clients.
She said: “Whether served in a restaurant, a takeaway, or from a mobile unit, the Fry Awards prove that quality fish and chips can be enjoyed anywhere.”
