What happens when a penguin dreams of becoming the world's greatest chef?

Peck Penguin lives in the Arctic where fish is everywhere and cooking is anything but exciting. Inspired by the adventures of his friend Tusks the surfing walrus, Peck sets out on an incredible journey to follow his dream.

His adventure takes him all the way to Japan, where he trains under the legendary Master Sashimi and learns the mysterious Way of the Sushi Samurai. After years of hard work, impossible challenges and more potatoes than any penguin should ever have to peel, Peck becomes a master chef.

But his biggest adventure is still to come.

Arriving in Padstow, Cornwall, Peck opens a chip shop unlike anything the world has ever seen. Dragon-shaped chips, incredible sauces, seafood creations and astonishing food inventions soon attract customers from far and wide.

Not everyone is impressed.

When local chip shop owner Boris Codfather challenges Peck to compete in the World Fish and Chip Championships, the stage is set for the biggest culinary showdown Cornwall has ever seen.
