Bridlington’s ‘Fish and Chips at 149’ Crowned UK’s Best Chippy
Fish and Chips at 149 in Bridlington was crowned the best place to get the nation's favourite dish at the 23rd annual National Fish and Chip Awards.
Owners Matthew Silk and Tracy Poskitt, who opened the restaurant in 2008 after completely overhauling the premises, received the award from food critic Jay Rayner at a ceremony at the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel in London.
Ms 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."
Shops from all over the country were judged on responsible seafood sourcing, customer service, food hygiene, staff training and community spirit by seafood authority and award organisers Seafish.
