Morrison^s "Great Grub Awards" was launched in March for one reason: to find Britain^s best local eateries. And Hornblower^s in Aberdeenshire shone through in the "fish and chips" category.

Hornblower’s overlooks a picturesque working harbour, where much of the seafood on the menu is landed. Ruth Grahame, 44, who owns the restaurant with her husband Alex, 37, said, ‘I’m absolutely delighted to win. To get such feedback means the world.’
