The previous record for this attempt was 44.43 seconds, set by Stephanie Celik in 2018. Zohaib completed the task in 40.13 seconds. The Guinness World Record has shared a video of his attempt on Instagram. “Fastest time to wrap five portions of chips- 40.13 secs by Zohaib Hussain,” the caption read. Take a look: 

In the video, we can see Zohaib scooping out five portions of chips and then adding salt and vinegar to each. He then wraps all of them in quick succession, before a stopwatch is shown to the camera, declaring it a world record. Interestingly, Zohaib accomplished this on the day of National Fish and Chip Day 2022. 

Having over 20 years of experience wrapping chips, he has enjoyed many successes, including the Potato Council’s Perfect Portion 2009 as well as the Young Fish Frier of the Year Award at the National Fish and Chip Awards 2012. Zohaib has also met Prince Charles as part of his work for the National Federation of Fish Friers in Wales. 

And now, he has added another feather in his cap – a Guinness World Records title.
