A chip off the old block! 10-year-old boy opens up new Oswestry chip shop
He may only be small fry but fish and chips are on the menu after a new takeaway was opened by a 10-year-old Oswestry schoolboy.
'Arry's Plaice, in Cabin Lane, is the third chip shop to be opened in the town by Kulvir Singh and his family.
And the shop has been named after his son, 10-year-old Harry, who is a pupil at Woodside School.
The opening on Monday was a family affair with Kulvir, his wife Jaswinder and young Harry joined by Kulvir's father, Baldev Singh, the mayor of Dhandowal, India, and head of the town's college, who came over especially for the opening.
The Dhandowal mayor met his Oswestry counterpart, Councillor Peter Cherrington, at the opening.
Councillor Cherrington said: "It was good to meet Mr Singh and hear about his town and his role as mayor.
"It was good that he could join his family for the opening of the family's third chippy in Oswestry.
"The family owns The Plaice in Salop Road and has worked hard to achieve the two additional shops, The Prince's Plaice in Lloyd Street, and now 'Arry's Plaice in Cabin Lane.
"I'm very pleased to see this new shop and I'm sure it will be welcomed by all the local residents."
