A popular chippy that has been serving up top notch fish and chips to customers all over the North East has confirmed it will be back for 2026. And its return comes just months after it made the top 3 at the National Fish and Chip Awards.
Just like many of us who work at ChronicleLive, we know that many of our readers are very passionate when it comes to fish and chips, so it came as little surprise to us that we had thousands of votes back in the run up to Easter last year, when we asked you to nominate your best places for fish and chips in the North East.
Your many nominations led to us compiling a shortlist of 10 chippies, before, on the eve of Good Friday, V.Gormans of Ashington took the crown. And it’s not just at a local level that there’s been recognition for restaurants and takeaways in the region over the last 12 months.

At the end of last month, Bells of Durham will find out if they have triumphed at this year’s National Fish and Chip Awards, with the winners set to be revealed at a ceremony in London. The awards also recognise the many great mobile operators the country has, one of those being North East-based business Frosty’s.
Frosty’s took to Instagram at the end of October to reveal they’d made the top 3 in their category at the Fish and Chip Awards and, after serving up fish and chips to people in the likes of Belsay, Heddon on the Wall, Riding Mill, Stannington, Gateshead, Corbridge and Medburn, over the last 12 months they will be back in business this coming week after a winter break.
Returning to Instagram, Frosty’s announced that first up on their list of locations for 2026 will be Corbridge and Ovington where they’ll be on Tuesday, January 6, from 4.30pm – 6.30pm and 6.45pm – 7.30pm respectively. Their first week back on the road will also take them to Wylam on Wednesday at 4.30pm, Stannington at the same time on Thursday and three separate places on Friday, January 9: Heddon-on-the-Wall at 12pm, Belsay Shop & Post Office at 4.30pm at The Library, Medburn at 6.30pm.
