This attraction was nominated by Richard Gottfried 

Colmans Fish and Chip Restaurant in South Shields is something of a local institution, but in recent years they have been elevated to the status of national treasure. Richard Ord’s business has been in his family for four generations. Colmans has been operating since 1905 and Richard makes it clear that to him, the future is equally as important as the past. In today’s world, where being seen as ‘green’ is all-important, Colmans passes with flying colours. Not only is their packaging eco-friendly, once used the cooking oil is turned into bio-fuel and PV Cells provide electricity to the restaurant. The food is as politically correct as the premises, with Colmans’ dedication to sustainable fishing being recognised by Greenpeace and countless other organisations, culminating in the company being presented with the Good Catch Award for Sustainability in January of this year.
