Whelans | The Fish Experoence Since 1937 26 Clifton Street, Lytham, Lancashire FY8 5EW Tel: 01253 735 188 Web: http://www.whelansfishandchips.co.uk In 2008 all Gordon Ramsay wanted for his birthday was fish and chips in Lytham! The superstar chef took a break from filming his latest television series to visit Whelan's, one of the north wests most revered chip shops. And the notoriously hard to please star of TVs Hells Kitchen and Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares was delighted with the food on offer. Gordon decided to visit after seeing that another celebrity chef, Rick Stein, had dined there previously, and enjoyed it so much he recommended them in his book, The Seafood Lovers Guide. Gordon was quoted in local newspapers as describing his meal as Absolutely Excellent! Whelans sister shop, The Cottage at Marton, is also well known as a favourite celebrity haunt, having attracted the likes of John Major, Jeremy Clarkson, and Gary Neville. Last month, Whelans was voted one of Lancashires top fish and chip shops in the Seafish Quality Awards. Also recommended by Rick Stein in his latest book Seafood Lovers' Guide, Whelns has recently been refurbished. Customers can now enjoy dining in comfortable surroundings on two levels and the restaurant is available for private parties. Fish, chips & peas contain a lot of natural goodness.
