There is an award category for everyone at the National Fish and Chip Awards. If your shop opened after 1st January 2022, you are eligible to enter the Best Newcomer Award category.

If you’re thinking of entering, here is a message from last years winner:

‘My advice to anyone thinking of entering any of the award categories is to do so with a purpose, be clear about your commitment to the award and your reason for entering, include all your team from day one and study the criteria for the award in order to achieve all the elements required. The award process will develop you and your team, it will teach you, nurture you and enhance you as an operator. When you finally press the send button it’s time to enjoy the ride, enjoy the contacts you will make with other operators and enjoy the NFFF. Regardless of your standing at the awards, attend and soak up the love and support that the industry has to offer you and your team, celebrate being part of it.’ – Gary, Lighthouse Fisheries of Flamborough

If your shop opened before 1st January 2022, there are still plenty of other categories you can apply for. However – you must act quickly. Entries close 17th September. Don’t miss out.
