Cheltenham chip shop is the plaice to visit Credit: ITV West Country

Seven million portions of fish and chips are served up and down the country every week.

So to be named Britain's best is no mean feat!

But whatever the secret, a chippy in Cheltenham has what it takes.

Simpsons of Cheltenham has been runner up twice, but now they've claimed the top spot.

Customers tell us what's so great about their chippy tea:

Simpsons is a real family affair, Jan Simpson started the business with her husband. Now their daughter and son in law hold the reigns.

So what's the secret?

  • sourcing the best possible ingredients

  • training staff to ensure they know exactly how to cook it

  • the right temperature to create the right chemical reactions

  • and of course... a side of great mushy peas!
