On 6th June 2025, the nation will come together to celebrate their favourite dish as National Fish & Chip Day is back…and this year it’s marking its 10th anniversary!
Held annually, this special day acknowledges the iconic status of fish and chips and, after beginning as a small initiative, has now grown into the UK’s biggest food awareness day. In 2024 93 million people would have seen, heard or read about the day!
National Fish and Chip Day recognises and thanks everyone involved in bringing this family favourite to the centre of every community; from the fishers who go out in all weathers to catch the delicious fish, and the farmers who grow and harvest the perfect potatoes and peas, to the fish and chip shops and restaurants, home chefs and celebrity chefs, who take those fresh ingredients and create this versatile dish.
Gary Lewis, President of NEODA (founders of the day), reflects on the success of the day saying “This year marks a significant milestone for National Fish and Chip Day as we celebrate its 10th anniversary! Over the past decade, we’ve seen incredible support from everyone involved with fish and chips across the UK, and we’re thrilled to continue honouring this iconic British dish. Fish and chip shops are at the heart of our communities, and getting involved in this celebration is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the quality and tradition of this family favourite. We encourage all shops to take part and share in the pride and joy that National Fish and Chip Day represents.”
2025 plans are already in place for a grand 10th-anniversary celebration so keep an eye out in your local area as shops find exciting ways of marking the occasion with competitions, offers and all-round family fun!
So…where will you be celebrating this special day?
