A FAMILY-RUN fish and chip shop has been named the best in England.
Simpsons Fish & Chips in Whaddon has scooped second place in the Independent Takeaway Fish and Chip Shop of the Year Award.
First place went to a shop in Scotland, making the chippy in Priors Road number one in England. It is run by husband and wife James and Bonny Ritchie, both 26, and her parents Jan and Brian Simpson.
They picked up their award at a ceremony in London, following numerous inspections by experts. James said: "We are absolutely delighted. We are passionate about the business and about providing quality, so it's great to be recognised for it."
