Award-winning fish and chip shop opens new site in Cambridgeshire town

The fish and chip brand has earned multiple awards since it first opened in 1923

A family-owned fish and chip shop is expanding its brand further across Cambridgeshire by opening a new store in Cambourne. Churchill’s Fish and Chips opened its third store in the county on Monday, March 23.

The fish and chip brand first opened over 100 years ago in 1923 when Harold Lipscombe, a coal miner and cricketer from Accrington, managed to raise enough money to open Churchill’s Fish and Chips in Essex. The family has expanded its business across the south east including in Cambridgeshire.

Churchill’s Fish and Chips has won many awards since its first opened including winning the Best Multiple Operator at the National Fish and Chip awards. More recently, the Bar Hill location was named in the list of the top 50 best fish and chip shops in the UK by Fry Magazine.

At the store, people will be able to enjoy meals made using “premium-quality sustainably sourced fish, locally grown potatoes, and top quality chicken”. The menu features a range of fish options such as plaice, cod, and haddock, as well as choices for those who don’t like fish including fried chicken and pies.

Churchill’s Fish and Chips also offers a £5 lunch menu that is available every day until 4pm.

The store’s new manager Libby said: “I’m excited to bring a new fish and chip experience to Cambourne. I can’t wait to introduce everyone to the fantastic new shop and everything Churchill’s has to offer.

“A great new addition is our gluten-free menu, which will be available every Monday and Tuesday after 4pm from 13 April. I know how hard it can be for people who are gluten intolerant, so I’m really pleased we can offer fish and chips that more people can enjoy.

“We also have a fantastic loyalty, rewards and ordering app, My Chippy. Customers can collect stamps and points, receive exclusive member-only offers, and order online all in one place.

“I’d encourage everyone to come down and give us a try. We’ve got lunchtime fish and chips from £5, a fish and chip dinner with mushy peas from £10, and our Chicken Lover menu too – so there really is something for everyone.”

Churchill’s Fish and Chips in Cambourne will be offering 50 percent off all in-store orders on Tuesday, March 31, to celebrate its opening. The Cambourne location can be found on Broad Street
