The prestigious awards organised by the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF), strive to find the very best in the business when it comes to British fish and chips.

The Fish Works is also up for NFFF Quality Accreditation Champion and Environment and Sustainability Award.

Andrew Crook, president at the NFFF, said: “As the awards draw closer, we’re all looking forward to the awards ceremony and celebrating every finalist for their hard work this past year.

“The industry as a whole has experienced some difficulties, so being able to reward those who have overcome these challenges is a privilege.

“We’re all very excited to work with Jason Manford, he’s a great fit as a well-known national treasure - much like British fish and chips.”
