A Harrow fish and chip shop is among finalists in a competition to find the best in the UK.

Belmont Bay in Kenton Lane, Belmont Circle, has been shortlisted in the takeaways category in the National Federation of Fish Friers' National Fish and Chip Awards.

It is now among the best of the best after judges narrowed down the top 40 nominations to just the top 20.

The eatery opened in 2004 and has since seen rave reviews, with customers praising the “amazing” food and “friendly" customer service.

Andrew Crook, president at the NFFF, said: “We received such a high standard of applications this year, for this category in particular, making it a very difficult yet rewarding judging process!

“The top 20 really demonstrate a strong commitment to the fish and chip industry and to the British public, so we’re thrilled to see so many shortlisted from across the country.

“Congratulations to everyone involved, this is a massive achievement in itself!”

Winners will be announced at the Park Plaza in Westminster Bridge on February 28 next year.
