A fish and chip shop in Wales has finished runner-up in the prestigious national Fish and Chip Shop of the Year award.
Finnegan’s in the seaside town of Porthcawl was one of ten establishments in the running for the gong and, according to the Times, is an ideal place to sample one of the great British dishes, serving several specials that cause punters to queue around the block.
Run by Huw Jones – who is the current holder of the Welsh title and former winner of the overall UK prize – Finnegan’s serves cod, haddock, plaice, hake and pollock, getting all ingredients from sustainable sources where possible.
If you decide to make a trip while staying in a Wales holiday cottage you my find yourself in famous company, as the eatery is popular with Ruth Jones of Gavin and Stacey and has also served actor Michael Sheen in the past.
Finnegan”s lost out to Atlantic Fast Food in Glasgow at an award ceremony hosted by celebrity chef Aldo Zilli in London yesterday (January 21st).
