A young couple have taken over the reins at a popular Nottingham chippy that has passed from generation to generation. Christina and George Ellinas are the new faces behind the counter at The Priory Fish and Chips.
The takeaway, off the A52 Derby Road near Priory Island, has reopened after a week-long revamp. It now has a fresh new look, switching from green to orange, both inside and out. Close to homes in Beeston, Lenton Abbey and Wollaton, there have been a series of managers over the years but now the latest generation of the family are at the helm.
Christina and George are the daughter and son-in-law of Helen and Andy Kavalieros, who run Andy's Fish Bar in Aspley. Helen said: "This shop goes back in my family decades. It was my uncle John's shop originally, Steve's Fish and Chips. It opened as a brand new chip shop in 1981, before that it was a veg shop. My cousin Helen ran it for many years and then we bought it in 2000."
