Holland-on-Sea's Golden Fillet wins Gazette's Fish and Chip Award

The Golden Fillet, in Frinton Road, Holland-on-Sea, has been announced as the winner of the Gazette’s Fish and Chip Award in North Essex.

It comes after readers were asked to tell us about their favourite place to enjoy the much-loved British meal.

All the nominees, collected over a two-week period, went to a public vote before the best chippy in town was crowned. 

The Golden Fillet has been serving traditional fish suppers, homemade pies and tasty burgers for more than two decades.

Joe Cook, area manager of Herts and Essex Foods, which runs the chip shop, said, despite scooping the award twice before, this year's win feels particularly special.

He said: “This award feels like the best award we have won yet after an eventful year with the fire, being shut for a while and then being under new ownership.

“It’s also amazing the fact we were up against 50 other shops and have won, so we are totally blown away by the support shown to us.

“We have the staff at the shop to thank as they are all outstanding in what they do and the new owners obviously take a lot of the credit too.

“Everyone has worked so hard and we have had a crazy summer. I just want to say thank you to all the customers that voted for us and for your continued support.”
