Our story
Harold Lipscombe buys the first family fish and chip shop
His son John takes over the business
Hugh takes over and opens Potter Street, Harlow
Hugh flies to Iceland to source the best cod and haddock
Our family love affair with fish & chips began way back in the early 1920s when Harold Lipscombe, a miner, and his wife saved all the money he earned from playing cricket to buy their first ever fish and chip shop in early 1923. Harold’s son John then took the business over in 1952, followed by his son Hugh in 1971 and Hugh is still our company chairman today.
Hugh saw an opportunity to grow the business and expand to new locations and began to do so by opening his first new site in Potter Street Harlow in 1971. Hugh made one of the company’s most defining decisions in 1981 when he jumped on a plane to Iceland on a mission to source the best quality cod and haddock for our customers. We are delighted to be able to serve our customers what we believe to be the best quality, sustainably sourced fish in the world.
Now Hugh and son James passionately explore ways to deliver even better fish and chips to their customers, as well as cultivating a healthy obsession with cricket! You can enjoy our expertly crafted fish and chips, in store, to take away, via our Click & Collect App or even have it delivered to your door.
We’re on a mission to put a smile on our customers faces through delicious memory-making food, quality ingredients and caring about the environment by serving sustainable fish and chips for generations to come!
We own and operate the nation’s much loved, award-winning fish & chip brands: Churchill’s Fish & Chips, fishnchickn, Bankers Fish & Chips, Boundary Fish & Chips & Toff’s of Muswell Hill.
We have a fantastic team of people that go above and beyond for our business and customers every single day! From Brighton to Oxford!
