The 2015 National Fish & Chip Awards have got off to a ‘frying start’ since launching the search for entrants, but businesses from across the UK now only have a short period of time left to enter.
Organised by Seafish, the awards celebrate the great UK tradition of fish and chips, and reward outstanding businesses across a range of award categories. Now in their 27th year, the awards are recognised as one of the most prominent and respected seafood industry events in the UK.
Closing dates looming
With a couple of award categories already closed to entry and the remaining closing dates looming*, Seafish is urging fish and chip businesses up and down the country to get their entries in now. For anyone who wants to take part in this hotly contested race to be crowned one of the best fish and chip businesses in the UK, entry forms can be downloaded here.
Advantages to entering
Over the years, entrants have reported momentous advantages to entering the awards. As a significant PR and marketing opportunity, many shops witness an increased consumer and industry profile and an uplift in sales – The Bay Fish & Chips in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire reported a 100% increase in sales after winning Independent Takeaway Fish and Chip Shop of the Year in 2013.
