The Anchor in Bexley has been recognized as one of the top fish and chip shops in the UK, celebrating its unique offerings and community support.
Bexley: A fish and chip shop called The Anchor has made quite a splash. It’s been named one of the best in the UK, and it’s easy to see why.
Ozan Bakic, the owner, started this venture with his wife while juggling a job as an electrician. They had no food experience, but look at them now! The Anchor is thriving and has won multiple awards.
Ozan, who goes by @snvbae on Instagram, has really tapped into social media. He’s teamed up with local food influencers to get the word out about his chippy.
The menu is a fun mix of classic and modern. You can grab traditional fish and chips or try something new like Squid chunks or Battered Prawns, with prices that won’t break the bank.
One standout item is the Golden Cod, a fish fillet wrapped in 24-carat gold leaf. Inspired by the famous chef Salt Bae, this dish has gone viral, racking up millions of views online.
Ozan shared that they started with just a few loyal customers, mostly older folks. But he wanted to attract a younger crowd, so they launched social media campaigns to broaden their reach.
This latest recognition adds to their growing list of awards, including a Blue Ribbon at the Good Food Awards. The competition was fierce this year, with all finalists scoring above 96 percent!
Ozan expressed his gratitude, saying it’s amazing to see their hard work pay off. He’s proud of the team and thankful for the support from their customers and suppliers.
