Doncaster fish and chip shop lands MPs Golden Chippy award
The fish and chip shop has been named as one of the best in Doncaster
A Rossington chip shop has battered the opposition - after landing an MP’s Golden Chippy Award
Lee Pitcher, Labour MP for Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme, has presented his inaugural Golden Chippy Award to Pisces in Rossington after residents voted them the best fish and chip shop in the constituency.
Mr Pitcher presented the trophy to the team at Pisces on National Fish and Chips Day (5 June).
The Golden Chippy Award was launched last month, inviting residents across Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme to vote for their favourite local chippy.
Four-hundred votes were cast before the poll closed, with Pisces coming out on top in what proved to be a closely fought contest.
He said: “Huge congratulations to Pisces in Rossington, and having tucked into their food myself, I can tell you, I can see why they were chosen.
“It was a really close race, which just shows how many brilliant chippies we have across the constituency. Every one of them deserves recognition for the role they play in our communities.
“Our local chippies are a proper part of community life. They are often family-run businesses that have been serving our towns and villages for years, and the people behind the counter know their regulars by name. That is what makes places like ours special, and I wanted to find a way to celebrate that.”
“Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote. The response has been fantastic and I am already looking forward to next year’s Golden Chippy Award!”
