A DORSET fish and chip chain is set to discover if it's won a national award this week.
Harlees Fish and Chips is nominated in the Best Multiple Operator of the Year Award, at the National Fish and Chip Awards, which will take place on February 28.
The awards, organised by the National Federation of Fish Friers, will be at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in London, and will be hosted by comedian Jason Manford.
Harlees are up against the Hertfordshire-based Chesterford Group and Durham-based Bells Fish and Chips for the award, one of 10 that are presented on the night.
The chain has takeaway and restaurant sites at Poole Quay, Verwood, Corfe Mullen and two in Swanage, as well as sites in Wiltshire.
Harlees is run by father-daughter team Richard Long and Kaylee Herbert.
Kaylee said: “We are really proud of our team and we could not have done it without them. They have worked so hard for this during the pandemic and they really deserve it.
“At Harlees we have always been devoted to ensuring customers have the best experience and the best-tasting fish and chips.
“We are passionate about maintaining our caring, personal family feel business and it’s our mission to provide high-quality fish for the family and future.”
