Chippy’s millennium markdown

THOUSANDS of fish and chip fans turned up at the award winning Harbour Lights fish restaurant in Cornwall, as it turned the clock back 17 years by selling at millennium prices.

The Falmouth establishment was crowned Independent Fish and Chip Restaurant of the Year at the 2017 National Fish and Chip Awards ceremony in London in January.

Owners Pete and Sue Fraser decided to mark the award from Seafish by taking prices back 17 years to when they began their fish and chip journey at the Harbour Lights in the year 2000.

A piece of fish was fried every 15 seconds as takeaway portions were priced at £2.50 and eat-in meals at £3.75 – to the delight of customers who travelled from far and wide.

Luke Ellis, home from Brunel University, saw the Harbour Lights offer on Instagram.

‘It is such a great restaurant with an amazing view that I am not surprised it won this national award.’

Ruth Johns, who eats at the restaurant three or four times a week, said: ‘I think it is the best fish and chip restaurant anywhere.’
