This article does not seem to be sufficiently notable; being visited by a few politicians is not sufficient. The first reference is to the shop's own home page which suggests an element of self-promotion. Twiceuponatime (talk) 08:04, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep or Merge to South Shields. Normally I'm sceptical of awards I've never heard of, but, looking at GNews, it looks like the local papers made a very big thing out of this. Not sure if anything can be written beyond what's already in the stub, but this definitely warrants a home somewhere. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 19:53, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to South Shields or the suburb of it where the shop is located. I really do not think that notability can be inherited from the local MP (even if a minister).  I am sure they made a lot of having got an award, but fish and chip shops with awards are not exceptional.  My local one had one.  Peterkingiron (talk) 21:56, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to South Shields. Not sufficiently notable to merit its own article, but appropriate for the area article as a featured chip shop there. Geoff  TC 20:10, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
