The Dolphin Takeaway in Dungannon, has been named as the top fish and chip shop in Northern Ireland.
The Dolphin will now ‘fry’ for glory in the National Fish and Chip Awards - against the nine other regional winners from around the UK.
Malachy Mallon, owner of The Dolphin Takeaway, says they’ve been in business for 20 years.
“It’s our attention to detail and the care we take with customer service that we believe really sets us apart from the rest,” he says.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be acknowledged for our hard work. Our staff have very much embraced the awards and are now excited to be working in a chip shop that’s recognised as one of the best!”
To get to this stage and secure a top spot, The Dolphin Takeaway has had to fry at the top of their game, facing appraisal by industry experts across a variety of criteria, including menu development and innovation, sustainable sourcing policies, staff training processes, and marketing and promotional activities.
They also underwent mystery shopping assessments to ascertain customer service levels.
The final judging stage will be held in London in January.
