Castle Douglas takeaway named one Scotland's top fish and chip shops

A Castle Douglas takeaway has been named one of the best fish and chip shops in Scotland.

Moore’s Fish and Chips made it on to a list of the UK’s 50 best outlets following two rounds of mystery dining by leading trade publication Fry Magazine.

It’s one of just two Dumfries and Galloway businesses to make the list, with only eight other Scottish outlets making the cut.

Owner Andrew Moore said: “I am very proud of my staff and being in the top 50 is great recognition of their hard work.

“It is also great to get some good news after the past couple of years being stuck in the pandemic.”

The mystery diner said the team at Moore’s got the fish and chips “spot on” and the staff were “friendly and efficient”.

With the pass mark to be considered for the list set at 86 per cent, Moore’s scored an impressive 96.5 per cent.

Competition organiser Reece Head said: “Fish and chip takeaways have really had to up their game over the past year in order to handle the growing number of click and collect and delivery orders generated as a result of Covid and integrate these new ways of working with their walk-in customers.

“Whether operating from a bricks and mortar site or a mobile van, these operators are working against a background of increasing costs, labour shortages and rising VAT. Yet they have continued to invest in their premises, their staff and their processes to ensure fish and chips remains a top quality, value for money
takeaway.

“It is with great pleasure that we congratulate them on being one of the UK’s 50 Best Fish and Chip Takeaways.”

Annan’s Cafe Royal was the other top 50 outlet in the region.
