Along with Hertfordshire-based Fish’n’Chick’n and Northern Ireland-based The Frying Squad, The Ashvale Restaurant was confirmed as a finalist in the prestigious competition after being judged on standards in business, retail and commitment to customer service.
The three will now go to the grand final with the winner announced in London on 17 January, 2012.
Sponsored by Unique Seafood, the event is open to multiple fish and chip retailers with four or more outlets and judges businesses at both head office and store level, taking into account the standard of sustainability, commercial awareness and staff training levels.
Nikki Hawkins, foodservice and events manager at Seafish, said: “The UK’s fish and chip shops are a national institution and this network of national retailers have been recognised for their highly professional attitude to business expansion and the quality of their staff, setting a great example across the industry.”
With over 250 million fish and chip meals sold each year from over 10,500 shops across the UK, fish and chips remains the nation’s favourite takeaway.
Devotees can tuck into their fish and chips knowing that they contain 36% less calories than a chicken korma and pilau rice, and 42% less fat than a doner kebab with pitta and salad.
Recent studies also showed that fish and chips had the lowest salt content of all the takeaways tested.
