A UK chippie voted one of the best in England has revealed its secret to success – and it's all in the batter.<\/p>\n

The award-winning Gipsy Lane Chippery, located on a Leicester high street, has been a fan favourite with hungry locals for nearly 50 years. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Family-run by Danielle and Anton Mappouras, the popular takeaway has already earned itself the prestigious title of best chip shop in the East Midlands. <\/p>\n

It came after the much-loved chippie put their delicious food to the test as part of England's Business Awards 2023.<\/p>\n

The hardworking couple are now through to the finals, in which the winners will be crowned next month.<\/p>\n

The Mappouras family could become the best fish and chip shop in England if they prove victorious. <\/p>\n

When asked what makes their fish and chip portions superior, Danielle had a theory.<\/p>\n

"My husband is the only one who makes the batter, I've been trying by his side for 17 years, but I still can't make it how he does," she told The Sun Online.<\/p>\n

"He's just got that knack, whether the weather is hot or cold, he knows how much of one thing or another to put in.<\/p>\n

"His batter is the one, everyone says it.<\/p>\n

"The secret to success is definitely hard work and commitment. <\/p>\n

"We've been here 50 years now, we've not changed anything we keep working hard with high standards, and customers are happy.<\/p>\n

"Our fish are large, we don't try and cut back on the size, it's large compared to most. The quality is always the best, we don't cut corners.<\/p>\n

"We've been here such a long time, people trust us, they know they will come and have a nice meal.<\/p>\n

"If they're having a family get together they'll ask, what are we having and say 'a Gipse Lane'.<\/p>\n

Danielle's favourite part of running the business is their devoted customers, who come back time and time again.<\/p>\n

She said: "When you're absolutely shattered and having a bad day, a chat with them can put a smile on your face."<\/p>\n

FAMILY ACHIEVEMENT <\/h2>\n

The dedicated owner said scooping the title of England's best chip shop would be a "mega" achievement for the whole family.<\/p>\n

"After so many years in business it would be absolutely mega, this is the first time we've been involved in anything like this," Danielle continued. <\/p>\n

"To take this crown it would be such an achievement for the whole family, especially the children. <\/p>\n

"They're long and awkward hours, they miss out because we're working and can't be there for some things, so even they're rallying around it, it will be massive for them."<\/p>\n

This comes as the UK\u2019s top 40 fish and chip shops were revealed \u2013 did yours made the cut?<\/p>\n

They include chippies in Cumbria, Durham, Lancashire and Yorkshire.<\/p>\n
