It’s not just about food quality, there are a wide variety of additional factors that make them great, including:

• Excellence in the sustainable sourcing of key ingredients

• Staff training and development policies and career opportunities for young people

• Creation of innovative menu options for those with allergies and dietary requirements

Judges will make a final round of visits to each of the restaurants for mystery dining assessments, before crowning the UK’s best fish and chip restaurant on January 23 next year at the award ceremony in London.
