In these troubling times, we would like to say well done to the team at fry magazine for going ahead with these the Fry Awards.
A big well done to all that entered; also, it might seem like a dark time to try and get the most out of this award but think ahead and post it all on social media.
What Fry Magazine say:
After three months of mystery dining fish and chip takeaways, restaurants and mobiles across the UK, we can proudly announce the winners of our 2020 Fry Awards.
Following an unannounced mystery dining visit to each outlet, operators were secretly assessed on over 40 aspects of their businesses from the quality of fish and chips and staff presentation to front-of-house hygiene and customer service.
Shops were awarded extra marks for focusing on areas such as the provenance of their products, for example communicating where their fish, potatoes and frying medium are sourced, offering card payment facilities and having a five star food hygiene rating.
