No.1 in Cromer has been recognised by The Times as one of the UK’s best spots for fish and chips.
The publication praised the establishment for its variety, with two dine-in restaurant areas and a takeaway.
The Times described it as “the best fish and chips in Cromer” and noted that “there were queues for all three options”.
Last year, it was named in the top 10 fish and chip shops in the country at the National Fish and Chip Awards 2026.

French’s in Wells has also been included in The Times’ annual list of the UK’s best fish and chip spots.
The publication commended the shop for its “epic fish and chips”, which attract queues outside.
The I Paper also included French’s in its ranking of the best chippies across the country, praising it for combining tradition with a modern touch, especially its gluten-free options.
The chippy was opened in 1921 by William Thomas French, and the quayside shop has been run since 1984 by his grandson Marcus, who has worked there since he was seven.

Lucy’s Chips on Norwich Market has been recognised by The I Paper as one of the best chippies in the country.
The publication celebrated the stall, noting that “remarkably for a chippy so far south, they serve scraps”.

In 2022, the pair expanded the chippy stall, based along Row E, taking over The Mushy Pea Stall next door, which has been there since 1949.
