A FISH and chip shop in Shetland is celebrating after winning an award backed by an Ely potato supplier at the National Fish & Chip Awards.

The company were sponsoring an award for the first time this year at the event which was hosted by former strictly star and impressionist Rory Bremner.
John Boutwood Isle of Ely managing director, said: “The national fish & chip awards are the Oscars of the fish and chip industry, to be a sponsor was an honour and is a way to show our commitment to our customers.”
“With this new award we are highlighting the importance of the journey the potato makes, from the farmer to the frier” he added.
