Yorkshire Pub Breaks World Record for Largest Fish & Chips Serving

World Record battered by the Wensleydale Heifer!

The largest serving of fish and chips in the world was served up in Yorkshire at 3:15pm on 2 July at the Wensleydale Heifer in West Witton.

The previous record was held by a Massachusetts restaurant – the Black Rose in Boston – but the Heifer’s fish & chip supper was more than 20lb heavier, weighing in at an incredible 96lb (the prime halibut weighed in at 40lb with over 50lb of handcut chips (and of course, a vat of mushy peas!)).

The pan used to fry the fish was custom-built, and over 4 gallons of Black Sheep beer batter was used to coat the fish (which had to be lowered into the pan with garden forks!).
