While we didn’t take home the top prize at this year’s National Fish & Chip Awards, we couldn’t be prouder to have been named among the Top Three finalists in the Newcomer Restaurant category.
For a restaurant that only opened its doors in 2025, reaching the final stage of one of the most prestigious awards in the industry is an incredible achievement—and one we don’t take lightly.
Among the Best in the UK
The National Fish & Chip Awards are widely regarded as the benchmark for excellence, recognising the very best in quality, sustainability, service, and innovation across the UK.
To be shortlisted—and then selected as a finalist—places The Crab & Lobster Fish Shack among the top new fish and chip restaurants in the country.
That’s something we are immensely proud of.
A Journey Worth Celebrating
From day one, our goal has been simple: to deliver exceptional seafood, create a memorable experience, and bring something new to the traditional fish and chip offering.
To have that recognised on a national stage, so early in our journey, is a huge milestone for the entire team.
Congratulations to the Winner
We’d like to extend our congratulations to the winner of the Newcomer Restaurant category, as well as the other finalists. The standard across the board was exceptional, and it’s an honour to be recognised alongside such talented operators.
Thank You
A huge thank you to our incredible team, whose hard work, passion, and dedication make everything possible.
And to our customers—your support, feedback, and loyalty have played a huge part in getting us here.
