A North Cardiff fish and chip shop has been named among the country's best in the annual Fry Awards.
Fintan's Fish and Chip Co in Llanishen is one of three South Wales chippies to be listed in Fry Magazine's UK top 50 for 2025.
The results follow months of judging in which takeaways, restaurants and mobile units were secretly assessed by mystery diners on a range of aspects such as food quality, premises cleanliness, staff expertise, value for money, ease of ordering, and social media presence.
Only the operators with the highest scores earn an award. The pass mark this year for both the takeaway and restaurant categories was 96% and above, although several were successful in gaining the full 100%.
Competition organiser Reece Head commented: “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."
The other South Wales winners were Farnham’s at Fontygary, Rhoose, and Hiks, Brynhyfryd, Swansea.
Fintan's also has North Cardiff branches in Whitchurch and Pentwyn.
