It's all change at a Nottingham fish and chip shop which will close its doors on Saturday night (June 17). The Priory Fish Bar will be having a makeover and when it reopens on Monday, June 26, there will be new faces behind the counter.
The chippy, off the A52 Derby Road near Priory Island, is close to homes in Beeston, Lenton Abbey and Wollaton. It has been in the hands of the Kavalieros family since 2000. For the first five years, the family ran it themselves, but more recently there has been a series of managers.
Christina and George Ellinas will be taking over - the daughter and son-in-law of the owners Helen and Andy Kavalieros, who have run Andy's Fish Bar in Bilborough since 1996. Customers will be in for a treat since George was named one of the top 10 young fish fryers at the age of 23 in the National Fish and Chip Awards in 2020. He is the son of an award-winning chip shop owner in Redditch.
