A fish and chip shop in Darlington has been named among the top ten best in the UK, as it aims to be the number one venue in all the land.
Yarm Road Chippy in the town has landed the impressive feat - as the countdown to the National Fish and Chip Awards on February 28 begins.
The National Fish and Chip Awards has put Yarm Road Chippy as one of the ten finalists in the Takeaway of the Year - with the overall winner yet to be announced.
In honour of this momentous occasion and those that have successfully reached the Takeaway of the Year final, the National Federation of Fish Friers which organises the awards is highlighting that the public’s passion for fish and chips has ignited a new wave of excellence within UK chip shops.
As a thank you to the public for its support during challenging times for the industry, the exclusive ‘Golden Fork’ competition is being launched at every fish and chip shop featured in the Takeaway of the Year finalist line-up.
This includes local fish and chip outlet Yarm Road Fish and Chips in Darlington, which will be offering customers the chance to spin to win numerous prizes.
Chip shop lovers are invited to take part in the giveaway by visiting the Golden Fork microsite at https://goldenchipfork.com/ from February 19-24 to spin the virtual golden fork to scoop a tasty chip shop treat.
If they’re successful, they will receive a QR code which simply needs to be presented at the chip shop to redeem the item.
If you didn’t already know, February 20-26 is National Chip Week, one of the Potato Council’s biggest annual awareness campaigns, making it an ideal time to indulge in fish and chips.
Andrew Crook, awards organiser and president of the National Federation of Fish Friers, said: “The National Fish and Chip Awards is the perfect segway from National Chip Week and we are committed to supporting the ongoing dedication of all our industry professionals for creating exceptional fish and chips which remains a staple part of UK mealtimes.”
