A customised food truck will be giving away free fish suppers in Glasgow City Centre.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the national Fish and Chip Awards, a van will be visiting five UK cities.

The current favourite fish and chip shop, Kingfisher Fish & Chips of Plymouth, will be serving up their signature dish free of charge.

The van will be stopping off in George Square on Monday, October 23.

Marcus Coleman, chief executive at Seafish - who organise the awards - said: “The fish and chip shop is a national institution.

"We’ve had a love affair with fish and chips for well over a century – not much compares to white fish coated in crisp batter, showered in salt, doused in vinegar and eaten out of paper wrappings with a wooden fork.

"However, as we mark 30 years of the awards and the dish’s continued popularity, we have even more reason to celebrate than ever before.

“For most of us, the love of fish and chips is much more than the food itself; it’s the nostalgic memories of seaside holidays with the family or Friday night suppers after a hard week that come to mind.

“With few being able to resist the mouth-watering combination, we’re using this milestone year as a chance to honour the humble dish, and remind people why British fish and chips are, and will always be, the best in the world.”
