IN honour of national fish and chips day – which is today, Thursday - we wanted to know where in Wirral serves the best British tradition.
What makes a good serving of fish and chips?
Is it the crispy batter surrounding the flaky fish teamed with perfectly cooked chips?
Do you add mushy peas or gravy or curry sauce?
Do they taste better when you eat them out of yesterday’s newspapers?
So far in our Best of 2024 competition, we’ve given out six awards in Wirral:
Best for Hair – LA Hair
Best for Pies – Pies4U
Best for Nails – By Taylor Jade
Best for Roast Dinner – The 21 Amendment Hoylake
Best for Cocktails – Cow Shed Bar & Grill
Best for Breakfast - Gilly Gem's Café
