Stubby’s Fish Bar posted on Facebook saying: "During these difficult times and times of uncertainty, it's a little gesture but we hope it helps families this half term."

The Crescent Fish and Chip Shop posted saying: "This is a little gesture from our family at The Crescent Fish and Chip shop to you during these difficult times."
