THIS Selby chippy is in line for a top takeaway award after it was shortlisted as one of the best plaices in the country.

Mister C’s, on Micklegate, could become the Codfather of shops if it secures top prize at the Independent Takeaway Fish and Chip Shop of the Year - building on its success of being named one of 10 shops in the UK.

Mark Corbally, owner of Mister C’s, said: “We have put our heart and soul into our family run business for the last 33 years so to be a finalist in this prestigious category is an honour.

"I started this business in the hope that it can be passed down through my family and this is a milestone that I know they will be extremely proud of."

The shops will now be quizzed on the industry and have their presentation skills put to the test before the overall winner is announced at an awards ceremony at The Lancaster London Hotel on January 20 next year.
