00:00Hi everyone, it's Lauren at the Express and Star. We're here at Merchants Fish and Chips
00:05to get 1p Fish and Chips on National Fish and Chip Day.
00:08So, they actually opened here two and a half years ago, as I just mentioned. They've got
00:13another shop on Lowe Street in Bewdley and this is a Hell's Owen Road shop. And actually,
00:19they did something similar last year for the King's Coronation. They did half-price fish
00:22and chips. So, I mean, come on, they just want to give cheap fish and chips to the community.
00:27That's what we want. So, today though, it's National Fish and Chip Day and it's 80 years
00:33since the Normandy landings. Merchants Fish and Chips are actually going to be donating
00:36money to the Poppy Appeal as well today. So, if you have a look here, we've got absolutely
00:42loads of people waiting for their 1p Fish and Chips. So, we've got absolutely loads
00:46of people excited for some fish and chips for 1p. There's literally about 100 people
00:54here maybe. So, we're going to give it a try, if we can still get some. Everyone's
01:01really excited, it looks like. And here we are at Merchants. So, if we go in, we can
01:08talk to the manager. And they're actually donating money to the Poppy Appeal today.
01:11How's it been going today? Yeah, it's been so good. The turnout from 11pm onwards has
01:17been crazy. Yeah. As Aggie, the manager, was kind enough to sort me out with a little portion
01:21of fish and chips here for 1p. And look, the queue is absolutely crazy. I came back
01:29into the car to eat it. I'm going to try not to make a mess. But as there was still a queue,
01:35when I got this, I didn't want to eat in front of everyone and be like, look at me and my
01:39fish and chips. No, I was not going to do that. Right, 1p Fish and Chips. It's fresh,
01:46crispy, hot. I mean, it's going to be fresh, isn't it? Because they're literally cooking,
01:53serving, cooking. The pans are always going. And here, let's try a bit of fish.
02:06This is honestly so delicious.
02:10And for 1p, I don't think 1p is the right term, but for one great British penny,
02:19this deliciously fresh, hot fish and chips.
02:27I did tell them, the guys at work, that I would take some back for them, but I don't think I will.
02:3210 out of 10 Merchants.
