An Essex fish and chip shop has been shortlisted for the most prestigious award of the fish and chip industry.
Henley’s of Wivenhoe is judged to be one of the top chippies in London and south east England, and is one of the top 60 competing for the Fish and Chip Shop of the Year Award, run by Seafish.
The restaurants have had their frying skills put to the test and have been judged on their menu development and innovation, sustainability, staff training and marketing techniques.
Marcus Coleman, Seafish chief executive, said: “The calibre of shops in this year’s top 60 is outstanding - they are a true representation of our industry and sum up perfectly why British fish and chips are, and always will be, the best in the world.”
