Uk's Best Fish and Chip Shop-Swadlincote Came Second!
Andy’s Fish Bar in Swadlincote, Derbyshire came second
The Townhead Café, in the Scottish Borders town of Biggar, has been crowned the UK’s best fish and chip shop at the finals of the national Fish and Chip Shop of the Year competition, today.
Gordon and Sandra Hillan, owners of the chippy, received the award from celebrity chef, Ainsley Harriott, at the Royal Garden Hotel in London. The last time a Scottish champion achieved the national accolade was in 1998.
Hillan has worked in the fish and chips' industry for nearly 30 years, learning the ropes from his dad, a cook in the merchant navy, from the tender age of 16.
