A popular fish and chip shop will be closing its doors next month ready for modernisation. Phil's Plaice in Gedling will be getting a brand new look - and a new name.
But one thing that isn't changing is the ownership. Matt Elliott remains firmly at the helm, committed to the continuing success of the chippy that is believed to have existed in Westdale Lane East since the 1960s.
It went by the name of Gedling Fish Bar when Matt's father Phillip took over the business 27 years ago. He swapped from chops to chips, having run a butcher's shop next door. However the shop (now an alarm security business) suffered a slump in trade as customers drifted away to supermarkets.
