THE North-East and North Yorkshire's best fish and chip shops have been revealed in this year’s Fry Magazine Awards.

Through unannounced mystery dining visits, shops and mobile units were marked on more than 40 aspects, from quality of food and customer service to their social media presence and Covid safe practice.

Despite Covid restrictions this year, the benchmark to pass was set at 97 per cent for takeaways and 92 per cent for mobile services which is the highest in the awards history.

Fry Magazine is considered the leading trade publication for the fish and chip shop sector and has been holding these awards since 2012.
