About the Business
Pisces was featured on the BBC2 programme, 'The Fixer' - A documentary series with Alex Polizzi which follows family-run businesses and their ups and downs. First broadcast date - Tues 12th March.
A family business for over 60 years, Pisces was started by Derek Holbrook and Arthur Haines in 1948. Initially it traded from two different sites, one a house in North Road, the other a wooden ex-army hut on Westerleigh Road in Yate. The fish and chips were cooked using a coal fired range.
Towards the late 1950's, Arthur left the partnership and Derek bought the existing premises, then a grocery shop, opposite the Newman Electrical factory. Today the shop is owned by his son Keith 'Kipper' and Julia Holbrook taking the art of fish frying into the next generation with contemporary looks and energy saving equipment to serve you better and more efficiently, but still cooking traditional fish and chips, the way you like them cooked!
