elcome to the English Fish & Chip Awards

Celebrating excellence, tradition, and innovation in England’s most beloved industry.

Few dishes capture the nation’s imagination quite like fish and chips – golden, crispy, and deeply rooted in British culture. The English Fish & Chip Awards recognise the dedicated friers, family-run businesses, mobile operators, and industry innovators who continue to champion this iconic tradition.

Following three successful years of the Scottish Fish & Chip Awards, we are proud to bring our passion south of the border, celebrating England’s finest fish and chip businesses and inspiring continued excellence across the industry.

With a wide range of award categories, the English Fish & Chip Awards showcase the talent, creativity, and hard work that make the trade truly world-class. Whether you are a proud chippy owner, supplier, industry professional, or loyal customer, this is your opportunity to celebrate one of Britain’s most cherished culinary traditions.

The inaugural English Fish & Chip Awards took place in Manchester in 2026, attracting a sold-out audience and receiving outstanding feedback from attendees across the industry.

Entry is completely free, and we provide everything you need to take part – all you need is passion and pride in what you do.
