Quilts presented to hospital baby unit
Popular Little Stoke chippie shuts down Bains Fryer, the popular fish & chip shop at Kingsway, Little Stoke, has ceased trading due to a downturn in business. A message posted on the firm’s Facebook page by Samantha Hudd (believed to be one of the proprietors) stated: “Myself and Pat would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you. We have had an amazing time and loved every minute. Obviously there will be rumours, but the truth is that the business had been quiet for a very long time and we just couldn’t keep putting money into it. My family are very sad to have to walk away without letting you all know, but it was either jump or be pushed.
Thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts. We will miss each and everyone of you.” In response to a question from a customer about the future of the shop, Samantha replied: “I don’t know what will happen with the shop now. It’s down to the landlord. We are genuinely sorry that it has come to this.”
Reaction to the news on social media Ann N: How sad! You will be missed. Lovely family! Jackie P: Best fish ‘n’ chips around. So shocked when my daughter told me the news. We will miss you, but wish you well, wherever your path may lead you. Paul T: That is sad. A great little business, hit by heavy competition.
