Herefordshire chip shop makes top 50 best takeaways

A Fish and Chip shop in North Herefordshire has been named as one of the Best 50 Takeaways in the UK.

Fiddlers Elbow in Leintwardine made the list after being judged by Fry Magazine for the third year running.

Dominic Eusden and Linzi Morris run the popular chip shop in Rosemary Lane.

Fry Magazine said: "Following an unannounced mystery dining visit, shops and mobile units were marked on over 40 aspects of their business, from the quality of the food and customer service to their social media presence and their Covid safe practices. Once again, the food remained the main focus, with all outlets assessed on the flakiness of the fish, the crispness of the chips and the crunch of the batter, alongside value for money.

And even despite the challenges and restrictions posed by Covid, entrants didn’t let standards slip with the benchmark to pass set at 97% for takeaways and 92% for mobiles - the highest in the awards’ history."
