Taylors Fish & Chips in Woodley is one of the best chippies in Britain.

That's according to the National Fish and Chip Awards, which placed Taylors in the top 40 best fish and chip takeaways for 2025.

It was the only Greater Manchester restaurant to make the top 40 - and one of only three others in the North West, besides Westend Fish and Chips in Oswaldtwistle and Farington Chippy in Leyland.

The list was compiled for Good Friday, the day when millions of customers opt for a chippy tea. The tradition harks back to the Roman Catholic tradition of not eating warm-blooded animals on Friday.

Andrew Cook, president of the National Federation of Fish Friers' president and one of the awards organisers, said: "Good Friday is a huge trading day on the fish and chip shop calendar when businesses across the country welcome hundreds of customers through their doors keen to enjoy this holiday staple.

"Making the top 40 fish and chip Takeaway of the Year list is a huge achievement for these outlets that have all worked extremely hard to make it on there and all of which have had to go through a rigorous judging process by a panel of fish and chip experts. 

"Each and every one will be dishing up delicious portions of the finest fish and chips so if you're lucky enough to live locally to one of the shops mentioned or are keen to visit one, then it's 100% worth it."
