Fry Awards: Two fish and chip shops in South Yorkshire named among top 50 in UK, and 9 of Sheffield's best
Two fish and chip shops in South Yorkshire have been named among the 50 best in the UK.
Fry Magazine has announced the winners of its 2025 Fry Awards, celebrating the best chippies across the country.
The 50 Best Fish & Chip Takeaways includes two in Barnsley: Shaws Fish And Chips, in Dodworth, Barnsley; and Two Gates Fisheries, in Shafton, Barnsley.
They are the only places in South Yorkshire to make the top 50, with none from Sheffield, Rotherham or Doncaster, but they are among 11 Yorkshire chippies on the list.
Shaws has made the list for a second year running, while Two Gates Fisheries is a new entrant.
Auckley Friery, in Auckley, Doncaster, made the list last year for a fifth year running but misses out this time.
Takeaways, restaurants and mobile units were visited by mystery diners and judged on criteria including the quality of food, cleanliness, staff expertise, value for money, ease of ordering, and social media presence.
This was the 13th years the awards have taken place.
Fry Magazine also named the 10 best fish and chip restaurants in the UK, with none in South Yorkshire making the list and the Magpie Cafe, in Whitby, the only representative from Yorkshire.
Reece Head, the competition organiser, said: “Congratulations to this year’s award winners! Another year has passed and, once again, these shops have shown resilience, adapting to today’s challenges with remarkable dedication.
“At a time when inflationary pressures are being felt, these businesses continue to stay positive and prioritise their customers, maintain exceptional standards, and find innovative ways to keep fish and chips affordable.”
