"2012 Fish and Chip Shop of the Year Award: Winner - Seniors, Thornton."

Squaremeal

"This keenly priced fish & chip restaurant, part of a three-link chain, is the finest for miles around – no wonder waves of local workers & tourists keep coming back for its cheery vibes & daily supplies of fresh fish from Fleetwood. The obvious choice is, of course, cooked-to-order crisp-battered cod, haddock, plaice or something more interesting such as sea bass, hake or basa fillet (similar to hake) served with chips – plus mushy peas or even a barmcake."

Paul Hansford

"Battering its rivals to take out top place in the annual competition, the family-owned chippy aims to bring the fish experience to as many people as possible and with a two-storey, purpose-built chippy, they certainly have the space to do it. As for the food - you don't win best fish 'n' chips in England for nothing and Thornton's selection of locally caught fish can be fried, grilled or baked to your taste."

Rob Crossan

"Britain's 10 best fish and chip shops: Seniors - In classic fish and chip territory - a small northwestern town of narrow Victorian terraced streets - Seniors has been attracting queues around the block from its car park location since 2006. Haddock and cod are supplemented by sea bass and plaice."

"The best fish and chips in Lancashire: Seniors Thornton - The Horabin family now have four Seniors restaurants in the Fylde area and although the Blackpool Normoss brach is the original, the Thornton branch is arguably the jewel in their crown."
