Overview
- The 14th Fry Awards named the 50 best takeaways and 10 best restaurants across the UK following months of anonymous assessments.
- Entries were scored on food quality, cleanliness, staff expertise, value, ordering and social media, with pass marks set at 97% for takeaways and 96% for restaurants, and several shops achieved 100%.
- Trenchers in Whitley Bay and Whitby earned a place in the restaurant top 10, Churchill’s in Eastbourne was the only Sussex shop recognised, and no Gloucestershire venues made the list.
- Regional roundups highlighted wins across Yorkshire, Cumbria, Lancashire and County Durham, including Beedle’s Chippy in Bishop Auckland and multiple Yorkshire takeaways.
- New this year, each winner receives a Hopkins eight-piece frying utensil bundle alongside the report and plaque, and organisers praised winners for sustaining quality despite higher wage, energy and fish costs.
