The big day has only been going since 2015 but the famous Two Steps chip shop on Sharrow Vale Road claims to be ‘quite possibly the oldest chip shop in Yorkshire’.
The shop’s website says it dates back to 1895, when it opened as a ‘fried fish dealer’.
The name quite simply refers to the number of steps at the front door.
Famously, the dish we think of as essentially English consists of fried potato chips invented in Belgium and fried fish, a delicacy among European Jewish people.
At some point the two met and the rest is food history.
