The Chippy Tour was built on honest, independent fish and chip reviews, and that will never change.

​

As the project grows, it now operates in two clearly defined ways. This ensures full transparency for both viewers and fish and chip shops.

​

🔶 LANE ONE: Independent Reviews

Independent reviews are the foundation of The Chippy Tour.

​

• Incognito
• Unannounced
• Paid for in full by me
• Completely independent

 

The shop does not know we are coming. We do not accept payment for reviews, and no business can influence whether we visit, what we say, or how we score the experience. This allows every review to reflect the genuine experience any customer would receive.

 

🔷 LANE TWO: Featured

​

Alongside independent reviews, I offer Featured visits.

 

Featured is not a review. It is a pre-arranged visit designed to highlight a shop, its food, its team, and its story in a dedicated piece of content.

 

• Arranged in advance
• Clearly labelled
• Not scored or rated
• Not presented as an independent review

​

These visits may be paid or hosted and are kept completely separate from The Chippy Tour review system.

 

🔒 Independence First

​

Featured visits help support The Chippy Tour, but they have no influence whatsoever over.

 

• Which chippies are reviewed
• How they are scored
• When or where we visit

​

Every Chippy Tour review remains fully independent, anonymous, and based solely on the genuine customer experience.

 

🎯 Why Featured Exists

​

Running The Chippy Tour involves significant travel, time, and cost.

​

Featured visits help support the journey, allowing me to continue travelling, reviewing, and showcasing fish and chip shops across the UK and beyond, without compromising independence.

 

📣 What Featured Offers

​

For the business, a Featured visit provides.

 

• A permanent YouTube video on The Chippy Tour
• Social media exposure
• Professional content that continues promoting the business long after the visit

 

Featured content is designed to showcase a venue and its offering, not to rank or compare it against others.

​

⚠️ Important To Know

​

• Featured content is always clearly labelled
• Featured videos are placed in a separate playlist
• Featured venues are not included in reviews, rankings or “best of” lists
• A Featured visit is not an endorsement over others

 

🌍 Looking Ahead

 

As The Chippy Tour expands across Europe and beyond:

 

• Independent reviews will continue to focus solely on fish and chip shops
• Featured will allow a wider range of food venues to be showcased along the way

 

This ensures the journey continues, while protecting the core of what The Chippy Tour stands for.

 

Featured supports the journey. The Chippy Tour delivers the truth.
