Halifax chippy dubbed 'out of this world' as team appears on BBC2 show Britain's Top Takeaway

The owners of a popular Halifax chippy came from behind to batter the opposition in a battle to find the best fish and chips in Britain.

Adam Hird and his 19-year-old daughter Amber of Siddal, Halifax, run Hirds Family Fisheries and appeared on the BBC2 show on Monday night. The programme, hosted by Darren Harriott and Sara Cox, saw five of the best chippies from right across the UK gather in Manchester and go head-to-head in the ultimate fry-off.

Adam, 49, has been in the catering industry all his life and has run Hirds Family Fisheries for just over 10 years together with his wife Alison and 17-year-old son Aiden. Having worked as a chef and managed restaurants and hotels, however, he has avoided running a 'normal' chippy and has instead added twists to dishes.
