Cod’s Scallops Named One Of UK’s Best Ten Fish & Chip Restaurants

The Cod’s Scallops in Market Harborough has been named one of the UK’s best ten fish and chip restaurants.

It has beaten off competition from hundreds of others to make the list in this year’s Fry Awards.

Mystery judges visited each outlet that entered to sample the food and assess key aspects of the business, from the cleanliness of the premises, to staff knowledge and professionalism, and their social media presence.

The Abbey Street venue is the only fish and chip restaurant in the Midlands to make the top ten list.

John Molnar, owner of the Cod’s Scallops, spoke to Hfm:

The annual competition is run by Fry Magazine, a trade publication for the fish and chip shop sector.

Reece Head, competition organiser, comments: “We’re so pleased to announce this year’s winners. The awards recognise and celebrate the hard work, passion and dedication that these operators put into running their businesses.

“It’s been a tough couple of years for the industry, in particular for restaurants that have had to deal with closures, but operators continued to adapt, motivate their workforce and invest in new equipment and systems that have seen them come out the other side stronger and in a better position.

“Our 50 Best Takeaway and 10 Best Restaurant winners really do represent the best in the business and they continue to showcase fish and chips as a high quality, value for money meal.”
