Congratulations Graeme and Will Burrell for taking the prestigious title of ‘Takeaway of the Year’ at this years National Fish and Chip Awards.

This award really is a fantastic achievement and raises the bar in the industry. All top 10 finalists are a credit to the industry so competition was fierce, but Yarm Road Fish and Chips in Darlington is our 2025 champion and they can expect many great things to come from receiving such a great accolade.We hope they enjoy everything the award will bring them over the next 12 months and inspire other shops to go for the award next year.As proud sponsors of the awards, we at Florigo were thrilled to see so many finalists that ‘fry Florigo’ and would like to give a special mention to the Restaurant of the Year category in which 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place were all taken by Florigo customers, giving us a clean sweep in that category.

This year’s host was Matt Baker, who did a truly wonderful job and being from the same neck of the woods as some of the winners, he was a great choice.Once again, the awards really showcased the best of the best and we congratulate all finalists and winners and encourage those who are thinking about going for it next year to do so, you’ll be in great company.
