WILTSHIRE'S and the South West's best fish and chip shops have been revealed in this year’s Fry Magazine Awards.

Through unannounced mystery dining visits, shops and mobile units were marked on over 40 aspects of their business, from quality of food and customer service, to their social media presence and their Covid safety measures.

Despite coronavirus restrictions this year, the benchmark to pass was set at 97 per cent for takeaways and 92 per cent for mobiles - the highest in the awards history.

This year's winners include a chippy not too far away in Wiltshire and two in nearby Dorset.

Fry Magazine is considered the leading trade publication for the fish and chip shop sector and has been holding these awards since 2012.
