A West Bridgford chippy is in the running for a prestigious national award. The Cod's Scallops, located at the £20m Wilford Lane retail park, has been shortlisted in the top ten restaurants of the year in the National Fish & Chip Awards. Reporter Rebecca Sherdley decided to tuck in.
I have always been a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to fish and chips. Up north, where I'm from, the tradition is to have curry sauce on your chips - a delicious condiment after a night out, although some would argue otherwise.
But having lost two stone on a weight loss plan in just one year, trips to the fish and chip for me are more a rarity, and a treat these days. So when I was asked by my newsdesk to try The Cod's Scallops, off Wilford Lane, West Bridgford, shortlisted in the top ten restaurants of the year in the National Fish & Chip Awards, I opted for a small portion of fish and chips and mushy peas, desperately hoping this would not show on the scales!
