Catch makes the grade as best chippy in Scotland
Catch Fish and Chips are now in the running to claim the title of the UK’s best fish and chip restaurant and will now ‘batter’ it out against the nine other contenders as they vie for the Independent Fish and Chip Restaurant of the Year Award.
The other contenders in the running are:
Trenchers Restaurant in Whitby, North Yorkshire
Mister C’s in Selby, North Yorkshire
Harbour Lights in Falmouth, Cornwall
Lloyds in Lampeter, Ceredigion
The Fishermans Wife in Whitby, North Yorkshire
The Elite Fish & Chip Company in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
The Pelican in Barnstaple, Devon
Seafresh Restaurant in Pimlico, London
Something Else Fishy in Sherborne, Somerset
To get to this stage and secure a place in the coveted shortlist, Catch Fish and Chips has faced appraisal by industry experts across a wide variety of judging criteria including fish sourcing policies, restaurant facilities and appearance, staff training and development practices, menu diversification, and marketing and promotional activity. They also received mystery shopping assessments to ascertain customer service levels and the quality of the fish and chips on offer.

This next stage of the competition will whittle down the top 10 to establish the top five UK fish and chip restaurants that will compete for the top accolade to eventually be presented at the awards ceremony, held in London on January 26 next year.
