Popular Ayrshire chippy crowned 'best in UK' at top national awards

An Ayrshire chippy has been crowned the best in the UK.

The Fish Works in Largs has been named as having the ‘Best Quality Fish and Chips’ in the UK in a prestigious competition run by industry experts.

The seaside favourite was given the golden approval by The National Federation of Fish Friers.

The organisation picked out the Largs diner for the Quality Accreditation category at the National Fish and Chip Awards 2023.

The eaterie which sits on the coastal town’s stunning promenade was given the award for providing the “highest standard in fish and chips.”

The family-run business, which is run by husband and wife team Ross and Tiffny Irvin, took to Facebook to share their delight.

And they nearly came close to securing a famous double win after finishing third in the Takeaway of the year category.

A spokesperson for The Fish Works said: “We cannot believe we have won best Quality Award Accreditation!

“The category celebrates shops throughout the UK that give their customers the best quality fish and chips.

“And it was almost a double win, after we were just pipped to the post in the Takeaway of the year category finishing in third place.

“We are delighted to be to among this year's winners who represented the industry in such a great way.

“Thank you to everyone who supports us, from our fantastic team, amazing customers, local community and the Fish & Chip Industry.”

The team from Largs were crowned winners at a swanky bash at the Park Plaza Westminister Bridge in London which was presented by Comedian Jason Manford.
