The traditional Christmas treats are getting a makeover at Franks Fish and Chip shop in Woodland.

Owner Paul Sung sold a battered chip butty in the Spring of 2021 which was hugely popular so he decided to give the same treatment to some beloved festive favourites.

Paul, aged 40 said: “A customer came to me a while ago and asked what was next after the success of the battered butty and I didn’t know how I was going to top it.

Paul is also selling battered and deep friend Pigs in Blankets which he says accompany the Yorkshire Pudding very well.

Franks Fish and Chip shop is a family run business and has been for 37 years.

It was owned by his parents since 1984 and Paul believes that it’s important that the business is kept in his family.

He said: “I wake up every morning excited to feed people.“"A lot of our recipes have been passed down from generations ago.

“For example our curry sauce was first made by my grand dad when he worked on a Hong Kong cruise liner - he learnt how to make it from an Indian chef on board."
