The Field to Frier category is sponsored by Isle of Ely Produce, which is responsible for supplying more than two million bags of potatoes into the fish and chip industry every year.

In a statement, Finney’s said: “Myself and the team are excited to announce we have achieved a place in the top 10 in the Field to Frier category in the National Fish and Chip Awards.

“Field to Frier category is based on knowledge and quality about the wholesome potato; from selection, dry mater, sugar content and cooking, including much more information.

“There’s much more to potatoes than meets the eye!

“Thanks to Steve and Frank, our potato technicians, and congratulations to all of the finalists.”
