The celebration of my husband’s birthday culminated in the delivery of fish and chips from one of the best chippies in the Bournemouth area, Chez Fred’s.
This venue is famous for its products and over the years, has been visited by the many entertainers who perform at the Bournemouth Pavillion and Bournemouth International Centre. Several years ago, the restaurant was extended and there is always a queue to eat inside in addition to queues to take away food wrapped in vinegar soaked paper. The walls inside the restaurant used to be covered with photos of famed entertainers and although many of those photos have been removed as the shady pasts of their sitters were revealed, Chez Fred’s remains an iconic place to obtain delicious fresh fish and chips.
Their response to the Lockdown was to start offering delivery this week and we were fortunate enough to receive some of their yummy fare on the first day of that new service, organised by our children as a treat for the birthday boy. Scampi for me and cod for my husband, mushy peas, onion rings and chips.
Our first meal not cooked at home since Lockdown began. Well done to them for finding ways to keep their business going.
