Back in the day

The London Fryer opened way back in 1982! To increase business we put an offer in the Herald Express for cod and chips for 30 pence as a starting offer. The real price should have been 68 pence at the time! How times have changed? Admittedly there was no VAT on fish and chips or hot food in those days.

One of the brightest jewels in the English Riviera’s crown, as you arrive in the seaside resort of Paignton, you are met with the welcoming sight of its long stretch of beautiful and easily accessible beachfront, promenade, traditional pier, colourful beach huts and green.  What's great about Paignton is that it is a compact resort, with the seafront and town centre shops all within close proximity, making it an ideal Devon holiday resort for that relaxing break away.  Once you arrive, you don't have to go far, but of course, there is plenty to see and do in the area if you wish to get out and about and explore.
