A Nottinghamshire chip shop that opened just seven months ago has made it down to the final five in prestigious national awards. The Cod's Scallops, located at the £20m Wilford Lane retail park, in West Bridgford, has been shortlisted in the Restaurant of the Year in the National Fish & Chip Awards.
It is the only chip shop in Nottinghamshire to be shortlisted - and hopes to repeat the success of its sister shop in Wollaton which was crowned the best takeaway in the UK in 2020. The awards, which have been going for more than 30 years, celebrate the nation's favourite dish, while championing the eclectic eateries that hold up the popular British tradition.
The top five has been whittled down from the top ten announced last month. The other finalists are located in Belfast, Cirencester, Hunstanton and Thornham, a village in Norfolk.
