Harry Ramsden's has been frying fish and chips for nearly a century, and its famous platter challenge has a story to match: Roy Keane wrote about the Manchester United squad attempting it before a match in 1995. The modern version is a 1.5kg haul of fish and chips with sausages, chicken bites and sauces, and you have 30 minutes to finish it. It runs across the chain, and this listing is for the Blackpool branch by the Tower, where it was filmed.

What you'll be eating

1.5kg of fish and chips with two sausages, six chicken bites and three sauces.

What you win

Finish in 30 minutes and the £34.99 meal is free. You'll also get a T-shirt and a place on the leaderboard, and the fastest finisher of the year wins free fish and chips for a year.

Strategy tips

There's a national leaderboard, so speed matters if you want the year-long prize. Check with your branch before you go, as the challenge is subject to availability.
