A Nottinghamshire chippy will be flying the flag for one of Britain's best-loved takeaways at a pop-up event in Japan. Iconic British fashion, designs and food and drink will be on sale in Kobe, a city in central Japan on Osaka Bay.
The award-winning Cod's Scallops, which has branches in Wollaton, Carrington and West Bridgford, will be showcasing cod, chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce at the week-long event from April 12 to 19. The invitation came on the back of the chip shop being crowned the best in the UK in 2020 but the trip was delayed due to Covid.
The British Fair will be staged at the Hankyu department store. An annual event since 1970, it is a chance for British companies to shine and for Japanese shoppers to immerse themselves in British culture.
