Prestwich chip shop Chips @ No 8 has gone through to the final 20 in the whole of the UK in the ‘chip shop World Cup’. The celebrated North Manchester chippie revealed last month that it had got through to the final 40 in the whole of the UK in this year’s National Fish and Chip Awards.
Organised by trade body the National Federation of Fish Fryers, it’s the most coveted award in the world of fish and chips, and has been running for more than 30 years. Owner Dan Edwards told the M.E.N: “It’s a privilege to be listed alongside the other 19 excellent fish and chip shops who made the final 20 too.
“The whole team here can be incredibly proud of themselves to have got this far but we’re focussed on continuing to deliver a great product and hopefully that will carry us further in the competition. We’re not ready for our journey to end just yet!”
