A chippy in Merseyside has been named one of the best in the country according to National Geographic.
The Swan on Stanley Street in Southport has been ranked ninth in the United Kingdom with the traditional fish and chip shop being the only one from Merseyside to make the list. Southport's oldest fish and chip restaurant has been run by the Defty family for more than 40 years and has continuously gained plaudits for the fresh food they serve.
National Geographic wrote about The Swan on their website when ranking the top nine chippies: "Fish and potatoes are locally sourced where possible and, while the menu lacks modern curveballs, it does the classics well enough to have inspired passions across the town. And at very moderate prices too."
