‘Big eaters with big hearts’ needed for fish and chip shop’s charity challenge

-

A FISH and chip shop is appealing for charity champions willing to ‘batter’ opponents in an Eat Off challenge.

Whistler’s Fish and

Chips, which has branches in Westbourne and Hayling Island, is promising to donate £500 cash to a charity or cause close to the winning participan­t’s heart.

In a grand tradition of the business holding St George’s Day charity events, the Whistler’s Eat Off will see two individual­s representi­ng charities local to Westbourne or Hayling Island go head to head at the table on Friday, April

23.

Participan­ts will complete the challenge outside, eating a very large 32oz serving of cod with approximat­ely 30oz of chips, bread and butter, and mushy peas in the quickest time possible.

Rana Denholm, joint owner of Whistler’s, said: ‘We are looking for big eaters with big hearts to complete our eat off challenge.

‘Our only criteria is that they raise money for a charity or cause that is local to each shop, so we can support those who have supported us.’

The winner will get

£500 cash donated to their chosen local cause.

Whistler’s Eat Off will take place at the Westbourne shop on The Grove from 5.30pm, and at the Hayling Island eatery on Station Road from 7.30pm.

To keep the event Covid-safe, the challenge will be livestream­ed on Facebook so friends and supporters can cheer the eaters along as they tackle the meal.

Email rana@ whistlersf­ishandchip­s. co.uk to sign up for the challenge.
