A much loved Warwickshire takeaway is vying to be named the best chippy in the UK. Harbury Catch has become renowned for its gourmet chip selection and high quality ingredients.

The fish and chip industry's crown jewel event, the National Fish & Chip Awards, will see forty chip shops across the UK aim to be crowned best of all. Harbury Catch, on Vickers Way, Warwick, is the only chippy from the region, including Coventry, to be included in the shortlist of this year's awards.

Sector specialists will put the shortlist through their paces with extensive assessments which will focus on a range of criteria including product quality, hygiene, environmental and operational sustainability, customer service, and industry knowledge.

Andrew Crook, president of the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF), which runs the awards, said: "We've received a wonderful collection of entries for Takeaway of the Year - it is the badge of honour that many in the industry strive for, and we are very excited to see new names on the list. This year we invited the public to encourage their favourite chippies to enter, and the campaign has proved successful as the judging panel can see hidden gems emerging at this early stage.

"We're also delighted to see others giving it another go which shows a commitment to excellence by taking on board previous feedback and coming back in a stronger position. It's going to be an unforgettable experience for the new top 40 takeaways, and we wish them all every success for what we believe is going to be an amazing display of skill, tradition and innovation."
