Following the resounding success of last year’s National Fish and Chip Day, and in response to the Government’s recent announcements, the organisers of Fish and Chip Day are absolutely delighted to say that our celebration of the nation’s favourite dish will go ahead in 2020, but a little later than planned on Friday 4th September!
As well as being one of the most popular awareness days of the year, the organisers want National Fish and Chip Day this year to be even more special as we say a very big thank you to this amazing industry who are at the centre of every community, and who have, when able to do so safely, adapted to keep us fed, and when that wasn’t possible have kept us all safe by remaining closed at great sacrifice to their business. All of them have shown great resilience throughout lockdown.
So let's make National Fish and Chip Day 2020 the best yet as we bring together everyone involved in creating this iconic British dish; from Fish & Chip shops, pub chains, restaurants, retailers, to the fishermen and farmers who provide the sustainable and natural ingredients needed to create this family favourite.
Last year National Fish and Chip Day was a day like no other, with everyone talking about the nation's favourite dish from first thing in the morning until late at night! People across the country came together to celebrate their love of fish and chips. Shops reported their highest footfall of the year…even higher than Good Friday in many cases. 62 million people would have seen, heard or read about National Fish and Chip Day and our hashtag was #1 on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook from 8am until 8pm.
