raditionally, Good Friday is a day when many opt to go meatless. For fish and chip shops, this means one of the busiest days of the year. According to Nav Singh, business at Barnacle Bill on Good Friday beats out the Christmas period, making it a hectic time across their stores in South Australia. “You can pretty much guarantee that our stores will be chock-a-block from 11am until about 8 or 9pm, and this has been happening for 53 years,” he said. “It’s an iconic brand in South Australia, Barnacle Bill. It resonates with everybody in the community with seafood, and we’re hoping Penrith will have a similar response.” Having only opened on High Street in February, this year will be their Penrith store’s very first Good Friday. Despite being in its infancy, Singh says the community has welcomed Barnacle Bill with open arms. “The feedback thus far from our customers has been fantastic actually – everyone’s really pleased with the product, and really, really pleased with the size of the serving,” he said. “Most of our customers that have been to Penrith are now returning regularly. Some are returning two or three times a week, others two or three times a fortnight.” It’s because of this that Singh says they’re expecting an influx of customers this Good Friday, with staff having been busy preparing all week. “You definitely have to prepare well in advance,” he said.
“All of our stores across Australia have been getting ready up to a week in advance, planning with stock, staffing arrangements, and making sure our stores are all up to speed to cater for the amount of customers that will come through our doors on Good Friday.” When it comes to what’s most popular, Singh says it’s undeniably their fish which gets the top number of orders on the day. However, with a stacked range, it’s impossible not to come home with more. “On Good Friday, traditionally, it’s the fish, and we have a variety of fish available, but that doesn’t stop people from going to the seafood that’s available across the range,” he said. “From prawns to calamari and scallops, everything is popular on that day.” But, it seems Barnacle Bill is popular for a reason, with Singh assuring that no one will be left with an empty stomach this Good Friday. “More than anything else, we ensure that our menu caters for a single person, to families and extended families. We’ve got a range of packs and meals to suit everybody, and since 2021, we’ve also catered for vegan and vegetarian options as well,” he said. “We just want to make sure that we can accommodate everybody that comes through that door, so although we have the guys that come in on Good Friday for the seafood, there may be a member of the family or a friend that may not be so much inclined. We want to make sure we cover them off as well, and we also have salads and sweets that are made in store.” Barnacle Bill is at 492 High Street, Penrith.
Duo face court over baby assault MAKAYLA MUSCAT
A
St Marys man and woman are facing charges over an assault that caused a baby grievous bodily harm. Joshua Laus, 23, fronted Penrith Local Court late last month, charged with two counts of ‘assault occasioning actual bodily harm’. Shania Cotterill, 22, also appeared before the court charged with three counts of ‘conceal child abuse offence’. It is alleged that Laus assaulted a then
12-week-old a number of times over a fivemonth period. According to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), his co-accused reasonably knew that another person had sustained grievous injuries but failed to bring that information to the attention of a member of the NSW Police Force. No pleas have been entered in the case at this stage. Laus will remain on bail until the next court date. They are due to reappear before Penrith Local Court on Friday, April 21.
