East Antrim Chip Shop of the Year shortlist revealed

We’ve been asking you to tell us which one gets it right and why it should be named the best.

The entries have been received, and today we reveal the shortlist.

The one that eventually gets the most votes from our readers will be crowned the Times Chip Shop of the Year.

It could be the delicious, crispy batter and the locally-caught fish that make you love your chippy so much.

Or maybe it’s the quality of the potatoes and the fact that when they’re made into chips, they’re kept fresh and cooked to order.

Maybe you love the banter you have with the staff and enjoy the place’s quirky touches.

But it doesn’t end there. Chippies have broadened their horizons, so it might be that you want to give credit for something else!

A tasty kebab and chips. The perfect pie and chips. A succulent sausage and chips – you get the gist!

01 The Railway Fryer, 3 Crescent Corner, Mossley.
