A Manchester chip shop has been named the second best in the whole of the UK. Hip Hop Chip Shop, in Ancoats, came in just behind The Mayfair Chippy in London.
Also featured on the list is Tony’s Chippy, around the corner in Miles Platting, which comes in at number seven. Betting company Betway put the stats together, collecting data based on Google ratings, Instagram hashtags and reviews on TripAdvisor.
The Hip Hop Chip Shop has been running since 2012, launching from a mobile van fashioned to look like a giant tape deck. It made its name as a pop-up, appearing at food markets and events around the north, with the team behind its love of hip hop almost as important as the food.
