The National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF) has released its Official Guide to the UK’s Quality Fish and Chip Shops 2021 in collaboration with Sarson’s vinegar. 

This guide tells customers where to find the Britain’s best Fish and Chip shops that have received the NFFF Quality Accreditation. Among those accredited are 5 fish and chip shops in Worcestershire.

Whether you’re at the seaside, on a walk or taking advantage of a cosy night in, a chippy tea can make your evening, especially if you’ve had it planned and been thinking about it all day.
