Banny's: Where traditional fish and chips come with a spicy kick
A Lancashire takeaway which reinvented Britain's favourite meal with its own distinctive spicy kick is in the running to be name the region's best chippy.
Banny's British Kitchen and Takeaway, located near Boundary Outlet in Colne, is one of 10 chippies shortlisted in the Lancashire Telegraph Best Fish and Chip Shop competition.
Originally opened in 2008 as a dine-in restaurant with room for 280 guests inside and 32 outdoors, Banny's quickly became a local favourite.
Its popularity soared in 2010 with the launch of its takeaway service, situated to the rear of the restaurant, and it hasn't looked back since.
A Banny's spokesperson said: 'We're absolutely thrilled to be a finalist.
'We've always believed in doing things the right way, quality ingredients, fresh cooking, and a bit of flair. Being recognised like this is a huge honour.'

Whilst the classic British fish and chips is still a firm favourite with diners, the 'Indian fish and chips' that blends spices with the fish batter attracts customers from across the region.
Banny's is also famous for its homemade cheese and onion pie.
The takeaway is open from midday to 9pm, with free on-site parking and offers a sit-down meal service, takeaway and home deliveries through Just Eat.
Voting in the Best Fish and Chip Shop competition is open until Saturday, June 14, and you can cast your vote by picking up a copy of the Lancashire Telegraph.
