An award-winning Welsh chippy that did the “best chips in the universe” is to re-open for one day only this week - four months after it was forced to close. Hooked@31 in Fishguard, Pembrokeshire, had proven to be one of the most popular fish and chip shops in the whole of Wales during its eight years of trading on West Street in the town centre.
However, it closed as usual for a Christmas break in 2022 and didn’t re-open in January due to difficulties in getting staff, along with owners Gethin and Charlotte Rands having other jobs, as well as a family. To get the latest What's On newsletters from WalesOnline, click here.
In 2020, Hooked@31 was named in the top ten chip shops in the whole of the UK, having been pitted against 10,500 other chippies. A year later it was one of only seven Welsh chip shops named in the 2021 edition of the National Federation of Fish Fryers’ Guide to Quality Fish and Chip shops.
