20 January 2011: Bridlington’s ‘Fish and Chips at 149’ Crowned UK’s Best Chippy
The top fish and chip shop in the UK was announced today (20 January 2011) at the 23rd annual National Fish & Chip Awards 2011, organised by Seafish, the authority on seafood.
Fish and Chips at 149 in Bridlington, battered off competition from shops throughout the UK to claim the prestigious title. Owners, Matthew Silk and Tracy Poskitt, were presented with the prize by top food critic Jay Rayner, at a ceremony held at London’s Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel.
Joint owner, Tracy Poskitt said: “To take home the highest accolade in the fish and chips industry is a dream come true. We’ve been working for many years to reach these heights and owe this award to our dedicated team and loyal customers whose support has made this possible. Fish and chips have been a British institution for 150 years and we are ecstatic to be taking our place in the proud history of this national dish.”
Set up by experienced award winning fish friers with over 46 years in the business, Fish and Chips at 149 has come up with a winning formula for chippy fans in the area. The duo opened 149 in 2008 after completely refurbishing the premises. Making full use of new technology the shop promotes weekly deals and updates fans on its Facebook page. Fish and Chips at 149 holds a five star quality rating from Seafish.
Andy Gray, Customer Development Manager for Seafish commented: “The awards are seen as the highlight of the industry calendar and represent the prize catch of the UK’s chippies. The shops are thoroughly judged on the quality of their fish and chips and all areas of the business including responsible seafood sourcing, customer service, food hygiene, staff training and community spirit.
“Fish and Chips at 149’s success is testament to the shop’s unwavering quality and hard work. They have an amazing team, with a very strong focus on staff training and development, and are very deserving winners.”
Jay Rayner, who presented the awards, said: “Britain's chippies are a vital part of our food culture, they have seen us through times of war and peace and many of them continue to make a serious contribution to the debate on food, through their pioneering approach to fish stock sustainability. I’m looking forward to working my way through the top 10."
2nd place shop in the Independent Takeaway Best Fish & Chip Shop Of The Year Award was Peck-ish Fish & Chips, Camelford, Cornwall run by Robert and Louise Peck.
3rd place shop in the Independent Takeaway Best Fish & Chip Shop Of The Year Award was Seniors at Marsh Mill, Thornton, Lancashire run by Alastair Horabin.
