Hornsea-based Whiteheads Fish and Chips has been named the best fish and chip shop in the whole of the UK.
The team from Whiteheads travelled to London for the National Fish and Chip Awards after being named as one of the ten finalists for the prestigious ‘Takeaway of the Year Award’.
Located on The Greenway in Hornsea, Whitehead Fish and Chips has been run by Geoff Whitehead, his family and his team since 1997. Their customers have a choice of either visiting their restaurant or taking it away, usually to Hornsea Beach.
After winning the award, the area’s MP Graham Stuart invited the team to Parliament where he congratulated them in person for their brilliant achievement and presented them with a bottle of House of Commons champagne. They then received a tour of the historic building which included a visit to both the Commons and Lords debating chambers.
Geoff Whitehead said: “The Whiteheads Fish and Chips team are honoured, proud and so so delighted to say we are officially your 2023 UK fish and chip shop of the year! Simply, thank you.”
Graham added: “Fish and chips is a British institution and Whiteheads is very much not just a Hornsea institution, not just an East Riding institution but now a very British institution. Congratulations to Geoff and his team on their brilliant achievement!”
