After 6 1/2 years of frying up authentic British Fish & Chips to the masses, it is with extremely mixed emotions that I announce that yesterday (Tues 29th) was Mac’s Fish & Chip Shop’s last day of business.
It has been an extraordinary ride so a massive thanks to the customers, staff, suppliers, friends, family and caffeine-based products who have supported us along the way. Running a restaurant may be up there as the most physically and emotionally demanding things we have ever taken on (and remember, we have three young kids!), but we want to step down on a high and make way for a fresher set of legs and brain cells. My family will be happy to go on our first family vacation in six years. My friends will be happy that I don't permanently smell of fish and, frankly, I'm sick of faking this ridiculous British accent.
Our successors at 503 State St (Hana Kitchen, who have outgrown their current Haley Street location and need more room to expand) intend to give our staff the opportunity to apply for positions in their new home so hopefully there will be little disruption to their employment.
Thanks again for all your support and, whatever you do, live life to the Mac's (can you believe you that's the first time I've used that pun?).
Cheers,
Mr & Mrs Mac
