- Motion reference: S4M-09199
That the Parliament congratulates the owners of the Wee Kelpie in Helensburgh, Nicola and Kerr Raeburn, on the shop's success at Choice Chip Awards 2014, which were organised by the Potato Council; understands that the shop can now boast the title of the Best Chippy Chips in Scotland; notes that Nicola and Kerr founded their small independent business in November 2011; believes that this award recognises their hard work together and that of their small team of staff, including the chef, Thomas Fossey, and counter assistant, John Graham; considers that the Wee Kelpie won the public vote due to its commitment to using seasonal produce and freshly cooking each portion of chips to order, and wishes the team every success in the future.
