🐟🍟 HAPPY NATIONAL FISH & CHIPS DAY! 🍟🐟

Today we're celebrating one of Britain's greatest culinary treasures – the humble Fish & Chips! 🇬🇧

We are a big fan of crispy beer battered fish, chunky chips, mushy peas, tartare sauce and a splash of vinegar! There's nothing quite like this iconic British classic.

Pop in and celebrate National Fish & Chips Day with us.

💙 Fun Fish & Chips Facts:

🐟 Fish & Chips became Britain's first national takeaway meal.
🍟 The first fish and chip shops appeared in the 1860s.
🐟 During both World Wars, fish and chips were one of the few foods not rationed.
🍟 Traditionally, fish and chips were served wrapped in newspaper.
🐟 Winston Churchill reportedly called fish and chips "the good companions" because of their importance to British morale during wartime.
🍟 Ever wondered why fish and chips are so popular on a Friday? The tradition dates back centuries when many Christians, particularly Catholics, avoided eating meat on Fridays. Fish became the preferred alternative, and the habit stuck, turning Friday into the nation's favourite fish and chips night!
