A POPULAR chippy in Largs has been crowned as Scotland's best takeaway at a national awards ceremony.
The Fish Works, owned by husband and wife duo Ross and Tiffany Irvin (below), was named best in Scotland, and came in third place for the UK overall in the Takeaway of the Year category at the National Fish and Chip Awards.
They were pipped at the post for the UK prize by the Ship Deck in Caerphilly, Wales and Yarm Road Fish and Chips in Darlington, County Durham.
The much-loved seafront eatery is no stranger to the Fish and Chip Awards as they also took home the award for the best quality accreditation, which celebrates the very best of the UK's fish and chips, last year.
The awards ceremony took place on February 28 at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in London.
In a statement online the Irvins said: "Now that we have recovered from all the celebrating last night we are delighted to announce that we again, for a second year, have come 3rd in the UK and Best In Scotland at this year's National Fish & Chip Awards.
"We cannot thank you all enough for your support again over the year and can’t wait to return home with our trophies for everyone to see.
"We had hoped to bring back first place this year but with all the incredible shops in the UK, we are overwhelmed to be listed as third in the UK and Best in Scotland!
"Congratulations to everyone to made it to the finals and everyone who won an award. What an achievement!"
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
