2. A toast from George Hinchcliffe, owner of The Little Chippy on the corner of Atherton Road and Long Lane, Hindley Green, after his chip shop was included in The Gourmet's Guide to Fish and Chips by Pierre Picton and Rod Harrod in 1990. The chippy was the only one in the Wigan area to be praised in the new guide to the best in the land. George had been frying for 18 years at the same shop which had been a chip shop for 70 years.
