Sykes

Sykes, on Bolton Road in Swinton, proved most popular with our readers by landing first place.

Gail and Anthony Sykes, who have owned the chippy for more than 30 years, put their success down to fresh food rather than pre-cooked alternatives.

They were forced to refurbish the building to adhere to social distancing guidelines but say customers have supported them through the pandemic.

Gail, 55, of Atherton, told the Manchester Evening News : “We’re obviously very proud and we appreciate it because we’re only a small business.

“Since we’ve reopened, we’ve done a lot of alterations and customers have supported us and come back to us and not gone to the big giants.

“We had a dining area but we’ve had to close that. The building is two properties into one but we’ve had to knock through so we can get an in-and-out door.

“We use fresh Icelandic cod; we only buy the best and it’s sustainable.

“We peel the potatoes ourselves; we don’t buy. Some buy pre-cooked chips but we do it the old-school way.”

Chandos

Chandos Chippy, on Chandos Grove, came a close second with our readers. One said it is "hands down" the best chippy in Salford where others complimented their munch boxes.
