AN award winning chippy has been visited by a York MP to support Small Business Saturday.

Julian Sturdy, MP for York Outer, visited Millers Fish and Chips in Haxby to support the campaign, which highlights the achievements of small businesses, and encourages support.

Millers has been established in Haxby for 75 years, and is run by Nick, David and Lesley Miller.

During the visit, Mr Sturdy heard about their work in taking on local apprentices.

He said: “Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy, and make a huge contribution to York and surrounding communities.

“Millers is continuing to serve up some of the best fish and chips in the country, and it’s great to see them flying the flag for Yorkshire in the final of the National Fish and Chip Awards again this year.
