Ahh…. Fish, chips and mushy peas! There is nothing more British than fish and chips. Freshly cooked, piping hot fish and chips, smothered in salt and soused with vinegar, wrapped in newspaper and eaten out-of-doors on a cold and wintry day – it simply cannot be beaten.... apart from enjoying it at your local THE STAR!!! So how, when and where did this quintessentially British dish come about? The potato is thought to have been brought to England from the New World in the 17th century by Sir Walter Raleigh, although it is believed that the French invented the fried potato chip. Both Lancashire and London stake a claim to being the first to invent this famous meal – chips were a cheap, staple food of the industrial north whilst fried fish was introduced in London’s East End. In 1839 Charles Dickens referred to a “fried fish warehouse” in his novel, ‘Oliver Twist’. The populace soon decided that putting fried fish and chips together was a very tasty combination and so was born our national dish of fish and chips!

Join us on Friday 20th June at 8pm!!! The British and Irish Lions tour is almost upon us for 2025 as one of the biggest events in rugby takes centre stage over the next six weeks. Andy Farrell’s star-studded side, captained by England skipper Maro Itoje, face Argentina for the 1888 Cup in their farewell fixture in Dublin on Friday night ahead of a trip to Australia that includes nine matches in total, with three all-important Tests coming up against Joe Schmidt’s Wallabies. The Lions will also come up against the best of Super Rugby and two invitational sides as they look to make it a summer to remember Down Under. The Lions famously recorded their first series win since 1997 on their last trip to Australia under Warren Gatland in 2013, before battling to a draw in New Zealand four years later and then being pipped 2-1 by the reigning world champion Springboks in the Covid-impacted tour of South Africa back in 2021. Match followed by live DJ event to make the evening special!!!
