Good to see that my parents, Keith and Barbara Pigden and Colins Fish  Bar are remembered. Sadly, I should inform you that Keith died peacefully on 26th September 2018 at the age of 81, after a short illness.

That's right, I remember it configured that way as well, I could never work out why the fish and chip was nicknamed 'Horrors' because the quality of the fish and chips was very good from my memory.

In the old days the fryer went down the left hand side of the shop as you came through the door. The little seating area was partitioned off on the right with a couple of tables in it. It was a popular eating place for members of Chalfont Colony as it was called then.

After Scouts..... Must've been late 50's early 60's, must have been in that time frame that Keith took it over.

well, as you asked. Yes, i do. However, I don’t remember the fryer being reconfigured.
Purchased many portions of chips wrapped in the News of the world and the Buck advertisers.

It's a free country, adopt whatever PC stance you want. Just don't tell me which stance I should take just because it clashes with your opinion.

Anyone remember Keith Pigden who used to own and run Colin's Fish Bar? He took the business over from his father. Still lives in Chalfont St Peter with his wife Barbara.
I remember how lovely the fish n chips were! They even had a small cafe area, I think it was a couple of tables, before they reconfigured the fryers.

The pub at the Three Households that was demolished was Uncle Toms Cabin. I remember it vaguely as I went into it at a young age, Kids didn't really go in pubs in them days, Have great memories of sitting outside it.
