Last but not least, we arrive at York Street Chippy, a business that has earned popularity over the years in large part thanks to its spot in a densely populated residential location in Barrow.

The chippy has grown to have a 'superb' reputation among locals and has proven to be a hidden gem for any visitors coming to the area.

Its long established period of trade exceeds the stint of the current owners, with the business having been sold towards the end of 2020.

But, since then, the new custodians have carried on the tradition of providing 'perfectly cooked' fish and chips with 'prompt service from friendly staff'.

That continued success is clearly shown by the high praise that customers are willing to shower York Street Chippy with.

One supporter wrote: "It has always been and still is one of the best chip shops in Barrow - great food and prices, and very fast service."

"This is a great little chippy, fair prices, can get quite busy, I would recommend it," another commented.

And, if anything proves that York Street is still a hit in the area, it is the line of hungry customers that is usually heading out the door.

A resident added: "[It's a] really nice little, local chippy with reasonable prices, and tasty and freshly prepared fish and chips - it can get really busy and there's always a queue!"

Will York Street be getting your vote in the Mail's 'Best Chippy 2024' awards?

There is still time to pick up a copy of the print edition of the paper to make sure your favourite fish and chip shop wins.
