The Fry Awards have revealed the UK's top 50 fish and chip shops for 2025, with winners spanning from Devon to Glasgow. The prestigious list, now in its 13th year, celebrates the nation's beloved dish just in time for National Fish and Chip Day.
Judges conducted months of covert evaluations, assessing shops on food quality, cleanliness, staff, and value for money. Only establishments scoring 96% or above made the cut, ensuring a high standard across both restaurant and takeaway categories.
Yorkshire leads with seven entries, including Lighthouse Fisheries in Flamborough and Two Gates Fisheries. Essex also shines with four takeaways recognised, while London's sole representative, Toff's of Muswell Hill, holds its own among coastal competitors.
Reece Head, competition boss, praised the winners for their resilience amid inflationary pressures. 'These businesses continue to stay positive, maintain exceptional standards, and find innovative ways to keep fish and chips affordable,' he said.
Other notable winners include Angel Lane Chippie in Penrith, The Magpie Cafe in Whitby, and Moore's Fish and Chips in Castle Douglas. The awards prove that quality fish and chips can be enjoyed anywhere, from mobile units to restaurants.
