💥🐟🍟🥤FREE TO ENTER COMPETITION- WIN - A family meal deal from Frydays of Kendal (worth £33) 🥤🍟🐟💥

My goodness, 2025 has been a long, hard, stressful year so far - and it's STILL only January.

The good news is that for some, today is payday - but after paying for Christmas and the like, there's unlikely to be much left.

We've had it all so far this year, freezing cold temperatures, a big, nasty storm, depressing international news, inflation, international wars and a quadruple flu epidemic.... it never seems to get any better.

Time to take your happiness into your own hands and treat the family to a delicious and nutritious chippy tea from award winning Frydays of Kendal.

Anyone who said money can't buy you love obviously never had kids - a Frydays chippy tea is a sure-fire way to make the little darlings happy and even, possibly... grateful?

If you have loads of hungry mouths to feed why not try one of their family meal deals. For only £33 you get:

2 x Fish & Chips (Haddock)
1 x Jumbo Sausage
4 x Chicken Nuggets
2 x Chips
2 x Sides
2 x Dipping Sauce
1 x Large Bottle of Pop

Enough for everyone (including the dog who can have the leftovers!)

Frydays is open every night except Mondays and Tuesdays and you can even order online at www.frydaysofkendal.co.uk or through their free iphone or Android apps and get it delivered straight to your door!

To win a,Family Meal Deal (to pick up) just answer this easy mushy peasy question.

Who sang the 1964 song 'Can't buy me love'?

A) Bob Dylan

B) Gerry And The Pacemakers

C) The Beatles

D) Tommy Steele

Just answer below and tag someone who you would give your last chip to.

Competition closes at 6.30pm and Lee Durrant will announce the winner live on The Lee Durrant Show before 7pm.

Good luck and remember you get an extra entry if you like and share this post !

Congratulations Joyce Wharton you are this week's winner, please send us a private message so we can tell you how to claim your prize ✨️

It's STILL January and still a whole week until pay day! You NEED something to get you through this final week. And what could be better than a fesh, hot and tasty chippy tea from Frydays.

Frydays don't have food laying around for hours like some fast food places, they cook everything fresh to order and use the very best the Barents Sea and British farmers have to offer!

A chippy tea is the treat everyone can afford and even better you can win 2 tasty fish suppers just because you listen to Cumbria's most popular commercial radio station.

How? I hear you ask? Well, just answer this easy mushy peasy question.

Today is the 84th birthday of legend, Neil Diamond. We all know HIS songs - Sweet Caroline, Cracklin' Rosie and Forever In Blue Jeans, but did you know he also wrote songs for other people including the smash hit, I'm a believer?

Today's question is who had a hit with it?

A) The Beatles
B) Jerry And The Pacemakers
C) The Monkees
D) My Chemical Romance

Just answer below and tag someone you couldn't leave if you tried! Competition closes at 6.30pm and Lee Durrant will announce the winner live on The Lee Durrant Show before 7pm

haggis to give away. If you've already entered you're in with a chance

Even better win one right here just answer this easy question

Today, we raise a chip to the greatest of them all, the one and only Muhammad Ali.

I'm not going to go on about his career, his views on the Vietnam war or his racial views, you know all that stuff and if you don't watch one of the films about him - whether you're a 🥊🥊 fan or not you'll find it fascinating.

Today would have been his 83rd birthday. He is remembered as one of the best accidental life coaches ever. He practiced pre visualisation and positive thinking that is an inspiration to us all (again, watch the films!)

Future planning to win a delicious chippy tea from Frydays of Kendal is straightforward. Enter the competition here, then visualise a delicious box of flaky, fresh white battered fish, golden chips that are crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle soaked in salt and vinegar.

Winning is simple, just answer this easy mushy peasy question
