Yorkshire might be more famously associated with Yorkshire Puddings, but one pub there decided they wanted a change and served up a world record breaking 100lb dish of fish and chips!
Chefs at the Wensleydale Heifer in West Witton, North Yorkshire, broke the record which was previously held in the US, by serving up 40lb of prime halibut fillet coated in Black Sheep beer batter, 60lb of handcut chips and quite a lot of mushy peas as a side order.
The new record has been verified by Guinness World Records and so today the villagers of West Witton are able to tuck into what might become their new regional dish…unless of course they never want to see another chip by tomorrow.
The previous record holders were the Black Rose Restaurant in Boston, Massachusetts who served up 34lbs of fish and 44lbs of chips, but as we all know, only the Brits can really do fish n’ chips properly.
All donations from the record breaking dish is going to Help the Heroes. The record attempt even made it onto the BBC news web site [video].
