Jones's Fish & Chips

HE Jones's fish chip shop history began in Wrexham in 1911, when Francis Jones, the great-grandfather of the current owners, opened one of the first fish and chip shops in the region, in a wooden hut, with a coal fire cooking range.

In 1931, his son Fred followed in his footsteps and opened his own fish and chip shop, Jones's fish and chip shop remains on the same site today, run by his family.

The family-run business has a legacy of entrepreneurial spirit, surviving the war years by stockpiling cooking fat and even collecting potatoes from farms during the war to make chips. The Jones's Fish & Chip shop continues to operate in that spirit, serving the good folk of north Wales with chips for almost a hundred years.

Jones's Chip Shop is split into two with both a busy cafe and an even busier takeaway area. The staff are dressed in identical black and white checkered aprons and looked well versed in dealing with long queues of ravenous customers.
