Winterton Fish & Chips
(probably)
As a former chef manager at a private school Lynne has experience in catering. But Adrian is going from working as a finance controller at a firm repairing prestige cars for footballers and celebrities to filleting and preparing fish.
He said: “I needed a new challenge. I’ve been doing the same job for the past 12 years.”
They weren’t sure what that challenge would be although they’d always talked about the idea of running their own guest house. But it was one thing talking about it and another actually doing it. Then came the pandemic to provide an unlikely spur.
“If it wasn’t for Covid it probably wouldn’t have happened,” said Adrian. They lost several friends and family members. It wasn’t as a result of the virus, but it changed their perspective on life.
THREE decades ago Mark and Debbie Cox faced a brand new challenge when they took over Winterton Fish and Chips. Now a new couple have picked up the baton and run with it. And just like Debbie and Mark were all those years ago, they are newbies when it comes to running a chip shop.
Adrian and Lynne Collins were wowed when they visited the village last year in their search for a business to take on. Winterton Fish and Chips marks a major change in direction for both of them – and an exciting opportunity as they hope to extend the opening hours.
