It’s National Fish & Chip Day!
Not that we really need an excuse but today is all about celebrating that most quintessentially British of culinary treats – the fish supper.
Normally held on the first Friday of June, this year’s celebrations are taking place today as a way of honouring the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.
Of course, we are quite fortunate here in Peterborough as we have a wealth of top-notch chippies, both within the city and in surrounding villages and towns, to choose from.
So which ones should you be heading out to this evening to celebrate this most auspicious of days?
Well, according to Tripadvisor – the world’s largest travel platform – there are currently ten fish and chip shops in or around the city boasting a rating of at least 3.5 out of 5.
Perhaps your favourite chippy is one of them?
If not, then now is the perfect time to strike out and find a new plaice to enjoy a pukka feed!
Check out our gallery of the top ten chippies in Peterborough to see which one is nearest to you
9. Wongs Fish and Chips
Standing resolute and sentinel-like at Yaxley's Broadway Shopping Centre, Wongs is to many in the village the only place they will head for a decent fish supper. "Best fish and chips in Yaxley by a country mile," said one consistently satisfied reviewer. "Best fish and chips in the area," echoed another. Photo: Google
10. Bluebell Plaice
Just creeping into the top ten is Bluebell Plaice in Dogsthorpe. Solid recent reviews have helped the cosy outlet on Bluebell Avenue earn a respectable 3.5 out of 5 on Tripadvisor. Cleary the owners' mantra of 'We don’t serve fast food, we serve good food as fast as we can' is hitting the right spots. Photo: Google
