We would like to say a huge well done to all of the winners and finalists of the National Fish and Chip Awards 2017!
The 2017 Fish and Chip Awards took place on Thursday 26th January at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London. Over 600 industry professionals gathered with the would-be winners to celebrate the best of the best in British Fish and Chips. Social media was bursting with excitement throughout the day, with two big screens at the venue to capture Tweets the hashtag #fishnchipawards as it was trending on Twitter. The day was a great success, especially with so many customers of the Q Partnership snapping up awards!
We would also like to announce that both the Drywite Young Fish Frier of the Year and the Independent Fish & Chip Restaurant of the Year award winners will be speaking at our FRY I.T. exhibition, so don't miss out on their secrets to success!
