A GALSTON chip shop is celebrating after being crowned the best in Ayrshire for the third year running.
The Principal Café, based at 3 Brewland Street, has secured the Best Chip Shop in Ayrshire title at the 2026 Scottish Fish & Chip Awards.
The latest success marks the third consecutive year that the business has taken home the award.
The café was also named Highly Recommended in the Best Fish Supper in Ayrshire category at the ceremony.
Following the achievement, the team took to social media to thank customers and staff for their continued support.
A spokesperson said: "We honestly couldn't be happier! Winning Best Chip Shop in Ayrshire for the THIRD year running is something we are incredibly proud of!
"We are so proud of our wee shop here in Galston, our fantastic team who work their socks off and, of course, our amazing customers who continue to support us year after year!"
