00:00It's going to be £6 this year for a portion, and that includes the diner, which is great value.
00:06You can come in and sit down, get out for the night, bring the family.
00:10So it's £6 in the takeaway and in the diner.
00:13The same down Port Erin, Chippy as well.
00:16No, no deliveries. We tried it the first year and had to stop. It was too busy.
00:19So we don't want to upset people with late deliveries.
00:22So you just have to come to the shop to get it.
00:24It's hectic the lunch time for orders, big orders to banks and corporate stuff like that.
00:31If they want to put orders in, they just have to give us a ring and we'll probably have to come up and get it.
00:36We can deliver some if it's a big order, but most of them come up and get it.
00:40It seems to get busier each year, just looking at what we needed there for the preparation.
00:44It's definitely seemed a bit busier last year, so see what happens this year.
00:48It's very Manx produce. It's the Manx spuds. It's the cheese. It's from the Manx dairy.
00:55All mix is great. I've had it in England and stuff and it never tastes the same.
00:59It's always better on the Isle of Man. It's just a wholesome meal.
01:03It's just either love it, hate it. Some people don't like it. Some people love it.
01:06It's just the way it is.
01:08I've worked here for 10 years now, on and off, but you always come back.
01:12I've been eight years.
01:15I think salt and vinegar is important on it and it obviously divides the nation really,
01:19but that and cheese. I think Manx cheese because you can have a chips, cheese, gravy anywhere.
01:24And it's never the same as it is here with Manx cheddar.
01:28I think it's just a homely dish, isn't it? It's easy to grab. It's nice. It's warm.
01:33Nice thick gravy. I feel like it's just comforting. Everyone loves it.
01:38Do you know what? It is by far one of the most chaotic shifts. It's busy.
01:43It can be chaos, but in the best way possible. We're always so well staffed for it.
01:48You know, everyone's buzzing. Everyone's enthusiastic.
01:52Yeah, all around good vibes.
