We are proud to announce the three finalists who will compete in the Ben Shaws® Chippy Friday Finals.

The Favourite Family Chippy Judges; Thomas Pick Media Co-Ordinator from the National Federation of Fish Friers, Helen Edmonds Editor of Fry Magazine and Sundeep Gill Assistant Brand Manager at Cott Beverages, deliberated over entries which came in from all over the UK.

After looking for a family run chippy which demonstrated strong family values and success in their locality, they collectively decided on the final three chippies. Located across the UK the top three are; 

Royal Fisheries Whitby, The Holly Tree Blackburn and Alf’s Fish and Chips Weymouth. 

Sundeep Gill, Assistant Brand Manager of Cott Beverages explains;

“All three finalists are top quality fish and chip shops with strong family values. It was hard to choose between the high calibres of entries we had this year. We believe family run businesses are part of the makeup of the fish and chip industry and we are proud to be able to support them.”

Each ‘Chippy Friday Final’ gives the finalists a chance to campaign and encourage customers to vote for them in store and online. They will be handing out samples of their fish and chips as well as Ben Shaws® merchandise and product.

The first to take to the streets will be Alf’s Fish and Chips in Weymouth on Friday 9 September; the second will be The Holly Tree in Blackburn on 16 September and finally Royal Fisheries in Whitby on 23 September. 

You can vote online here and in store.

Voting is now open and will close on Monday 3rd October; the winner will be announced on Friday 7th October.
