Best fish and chip shops in Yorkshire: Best fish and chip shops in UK announced at National Fish and Chip Awards 2023 - with five based in Doncaster, Pudsey, Hornsea, Sherburn in Elmet and Flamborough

Britain as a whole is famous for its fresh chips and battered cod by the coast and tourists may be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing where to eat this British delicacy. Yorkshire is even more popular for serving up the best fish and chips with glorious views of the seaside in Whitby, Scarborough, Hornsea and many more coastal towns.

Locals are very passionate about our culture and the best places to eat some of our most popular food. The fact that some of Yorkshire’s local chippies made it onto the list of the best shops in the UK serving fish and chips comes as no surprise to Yorkshire folk.

Every year, the country’s top fish and chip shops compete for 10 awards, including Best Newcomer, Best Takeaway and Best Restaurant. Four Yorkshire chippies were nominated for 2023’s Best Takeaway, whilst one was nominated for Best Newcomer at the National Fish and Chip Awards 2023 organised by NFFF.
