Chippies prepare to batter it out

TWO Pembrokeshire fish and chip shops are getting ready to batter it out in the 2005 National Fish & Chip Shop of the Year Competition.

The Plaice to Eat, in Neyland, and D. Fecci & Sons Fish & Chip Restaurant, Tenby, have been shortlisted for the culinary award.

The shops are awaiting a visit from a mystery judge, who will score each of them on the quality of their fish and chips, customer service and hygiene.

The top shop in south Wales and the 18 other competition areas will then be announced in September.

A further round of judging will determine the top ten shops in the country in October before the grand finale on February 1st 2006.
