New Plate Trophy Unveiled for Fish and Chip Restaurant of the Year – Created by the Q-Partnership

We are pleased to confirm that future winners of the Fish and Chip Restaurant of the Year category at the National Fish and Chip Awards will now receive a special plate trophy, created and presented by The Q Partnership.

The plate trophy has first been presented to Bell’s Fish and Chips in Framwellgate Moor, the 2025 winner of Fish and Chip Restaurant of the Year. This marks the start of a new tradition that celebrates the excellence and dedication of the UK’s leading fish and chip restaurants.

Following discussions between The Q Partnership and the NFFF, the trophy is now officially introduced as a permanent feature of the category, representing quality, hospitality, and the art of serving Britain’s favourite meal.

The presentation to Bell’s Fish and Chips was a proud moment for all involved and reflects the strong partnership between the NFFF and The Q Partnership in supporting excellence across the trade.

The Q Partnership, a collaboration between Friars Pride, Henry Colbeck and VA Whitley, continues to play an important role in the National Fish and Chip Awards. Their sponsorship highlights their commitment to promoting high standards, innovation and community focus throughout the sector.
