In August 2009, Whiteheads Fish & Chips of Hornsea were  awarded the coveted 5 Star Fish Friers Quality Award. Shops holding this award are nationally recognised for producing first class fish and chips in a first class environment. An approved inspector checks the shop’s image, design and condition, selection of raw materials (fish, potatoes, oils, etc), storage, hygiene and cleaning, product care, handling and temperature control, packaging, quality of the final product, management systems, training and skills. If the shop passes these rigorous checks, they are awarded a star rating according to the standard they achieve. At the time of receiving the award, Whiteheads Fish and Chips are only one of two fish and chip shops in East Yorkshire to have achieved the top 5 star rating. Geoff Whitehead, co-owner of the business, said “Receiving the 5 Star Fish Friers Quality Award is a testament to the hard work and relentless pursuit of perfection our team strive for. But we don’t want to stop here. We are already investigating improvements we can make to our already excellent products, service and customer experience.”   | EXCELLENT FOOD FROM SUSTAINABLE FISH STOCKS | RECYCLABLE | RENEWABLE | RESPONSIBLE |
