Wigan chippy to hand out food to NHS heroes

Gidlow Plaice, in Gidlow Lane, has opted to close in the wake of the government imposed lockdown but that hasn't stopped it from using the last of its stock.

Deliveries will be made to staff at Wigan Infirmary for 6pm, 8pm and 9.30pm on Saturday (March 28).

Paul Knox, the owner of Gidlow Plaice, said: "Now we have closed chippy for a few weeks we have loads of surplus stock that needs using.

"I’ve decided to cook it all and send it to all the NHS staff at Wigan Infirmary who are working round the clock in the Covid-19 crisis

"I’ve spoken to switch board at Wigan and we have sorted out three big deliveries to them."
