Life in Beckworth » Rick Stein http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth Bringing you the (almost) everyday comings and goings of the residents of Beckworth, a typical English market town.

Just a quick message of condolence to the plucky losers of last night’s Chip Shop World Championships. Our local chippy Chip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah put up a brave fight during the competition but still managed to come last despite members of the opposing teams being carted off to A&E. Head chef Rick Stein‘s world first, a deep fried battered black forest gateaux, failed to impress the judges and marks were lost for using locally caught eel whilst claiming it was fresh Dover Sole. Better luck next time. G. Grimsby. Mayor

Just a reminder that the final of 2014′s Chip Shop World Championships will be televised on the Playboy channel from 7.30 tonight. Good luck to our local chippy Chip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah who face fierce competition from last years’ Bristol based winners, Chip Shape & Bristol Ration, and from Saudi Arabia’s Chip-Chim-A-Knee. I’m sure it will be a nail biting final, but Chip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah head chef Rick Stein says he’s going to pull a world first out of the fryer to clinch the title. G. Grimsby. Mayor
