Anster chippy gets nod of approval from Michelin Star chefs

By Alexander Lawrie & Rory Reynolds

SCOTLAND’S most famous chip shop is facing a battle to retain its crown as the best in the business – by a rival situated just yards away.

For years the Anstruther Fish Bar in Fife has been crowned Fish and Chip Shop of the Year – and is the current reigning champion.

But the popular eatery now has a rival vying for its title right on its doorstep after missing out on a prestigious nod from two of the best known chefs in the world.

The Wee Chippy – which sits just yards away – has just been given the accolade of ‘The Best Place in the World to Eat Fish and Chips’ as voted by Michelin Star chefs Raymond Blanc and Michel Roux.

Homeboy Nutini’s new Paisley pad

By Michael MacLeod

POPSTAR Paolo Nutini has splashed out £285,000 on a new home – just minutes away from his parents’ chip shop.

The 22 year-old “New Shoes” singer is reported to have paid for the swanky pad in cash.

He has moved in with long-term girlfriend Teri Brogan, also 22, who he has dated since his teenage school days.

Nutini says their brief break-up inspired his 2.3million selling debut album “These Streets.”

Even after becoming a celebrity, the self-confessed homeboy continued to hail his bedroom at his mum and dad’s Paisley home as the best place to pen his hits.
