Southside Fish Bar

 

In 2018 Southside Fish Bar, Bristol Road South. Another chapter closes. My local chippy 'Sol' has moved on after 20 years. I think even though we've had chip shops since the 1880's, they have to move with time times, pizza & chips perhaps, Over last 8 years a few people have tried to run it but with no real success.

After almost 9 successful years, we are selling our well-established convenience store due to personal reasons.
