Each of our finalists has chatted to The Press, telling their story of how they started, what they do well, and why they feel they deserve to be voted York’s Best Chippy 2024. 

If you need a reminder, here are the 10 finalists and why you should vote for them:

Speaking after the online nominations for The Press ‘Best Chippy’ opened, Nigel Burton, regional editor for Newsquest North, highlighted the importance of recognising local chippies.

He said: "Fish and chip shops are a typically British institution and play such an important role in the heritage of our communities.

"That’s why The Press is delighted to launch the Best Chippy promotion so we can recognise the best ones in our communities.

"We’ll be bringing you updates on the chippies in our competition – whether it be their specials or their fundraising activity – so keep an eye out and see if your favourite is featured."

Votes will be collated next week with the winner and the official ‘Best Chippy 2024’ (according to readers of The Press) scheduled to be announced on June 23.

In the meantime, nominations have opened for The Press’ Best Hairdresser or Barber of 2024 and will run until Sunday,  June 16. This is one in a series of competitions that are planned to highlight the incredible local businesses in our area, so be sure to get involved and help your favourites take home the crown!
