      On the other hand, a new entrepreneur would not stand a chance. Even if he just wants to make a decent profit, he or she could not compete.
      So, if even a modest living is not possible, no entrepreneur would invest his money in that neighbourhood...

      Normally if someone is doing good works for charity or the like, the first award they will receive is an MBE. If they carry on doing exceptional work for charity etc over a period of years they would be awarded an OBE. After that it would be a CBE, then a knighthood.

    Hi Gary, I literally watched a documentary on UA-cam not two weeks ago about life in Grimsby... One of the poorest areas in England & struggling with crime. This fish & chip shop featured in the documentary & the owner does his best to keep the prices as low as possible to help locals. The feedback was that it's a decent meal for a very low price. So cool that you stopped here! This place deserves a good shout-out. Personally, I would give it a 10... Not because it's the best fish & chips, but 10/10 because I don't think you could possibly beat that value, anywhere else in the UK, for what is still a good meal. 💙

      I was having a gripe to my local chippy owner about the rising costs of fish and chips. He then proceeded to tell me that the last few years he’d been pushed to brink. He’s shut his seated restaurant - only opens 3 days Thur - Fri because he said energy costs (lighting, heating), council business rates sky high. He told me that cooking oil used to be £14 per vat it’s now £28, price of cod / haddock astronomical - esp if London based. He doesn’t have a fish market on his doorstep. He said cost of potatoes has also sky rocketed. He said he and his family have been in the fish a chip business for 50 years and he has never known it so bad. It’s not just about the fish a chips, it’s all the other overheads as well - rental, energy, staff, business rates, rising food and distribution costs. When someone who has been doing it for 20+ years wants to throw the towel in - you know it’s not good. I was so upset to hear it pushed him to such a desperate place. At the end of the day they also have to earn a living and support their families. ps he also told me that a lot of f&c owners had resorted to frozen fish / cheaper cuts to keep costs down but fresh fish was the one thing he would not compromise over!! This place is close to Grimsby - so probably far easier to get cheap fish. I am sure accessibility is a major factor in keeping costs down.

    This gives one pause for thought. In Canada here, we were encouraged to support local businesses during the pandemic. Now, after prices skyrocketed on everything, fish and chips, an order of 1 piece haddock and chips with coleslaw and roll, is $25.00 PLUS sales tax and GST (13% combined in Ontario) AND tip (15%). This man is a gem for giving to his community.

My father in law eyed every spud before chipping them - the equivalent of five dustbins a day. After they closed, he would spend at least two hours cleaning down the equipment before going to bed then getting up at 7.00am to begin prep work for the day ahead.Your rant was pitch perfect.

    Absolutely incredible what these couple are doing for their community. I still don't know how they are even covering basic costs though. But hats off to them. Yes you are right - they deserve recognition and utter respect for their complete lack of greed and their community spirit. How amazing would it be to see far far more community focused businesses like this one. I really really think that they deserve a full 10, irrespective of it not being the best. The price plays a significant part in our judgement of all consumables and whilst we take into consideration ethical buying and environmental impact - what about community impact. They just scored top marks in my book. Well done. 🧡 Give me people like that any day over the likes of Gordon Ramsay.

    Madness is right, a non-profit fish & chips shop. £8 for all that food, simply amazing.👍👍

    That's lovely...that families, who wouldn't normally be able to, can have a fish and chip supper from time to time. A shame there aren't more places like that.

    I have two major compliments to share after watching this!
    Firstly, Mr Mathews for being so thoughtful and kind in putting his community first, and secondly to you Gary for being so supportive and by promoting honesty and the integrity of people like Mr Mathews.
    Gary, hope your channel grows exponentially, you certainly deserve it.
    Best regards, Rob.

    Ten stars for this review Gary. In your own way you too are providing a service to the community and fair play indeed that the owners get a tip of the hat. I always enjoy your reviews, good bad or indifferent, but there is no question that a happy Gary makes for a better video. Good on you for shining a light on the shop and the owners. Cheers from Canada sir

    Thank you for giving this guy the credit he deserves as he does this because he cares about the community he’s part of. Grimsby gets a bad press but that ignores the quality of the locals, people who care about their neighbours and the community. And I agree that an award is well overdue

    I hate to say it but 3 for fish and chips would have me running for the hills normally. But after hearing his story and it being there to help the community, I am all in. And my best to the man who runs this place. I hope he understands how great he is for his community. I can’t believe he smokes it himself. Even more amazing. I smoke my own trout just for me and I know it is a process. He does it for his community!

The owner of that shop has a huge community spirit. What an absolutely joyous video 😊
