The British Chippy

About Us
Since emigrating to Calgary from the Manchester UK in 2001, Gary and Simone Hodgkinson have missed traditional Fish & Chips (and mushy peas). The longing for good ole fashioned Fish & Chips has led them to take a leap of faith and move into the restaurant business.

But the Fish & Chip business is not completely new to them, as Gary’s Parents, Grandparents and Great Grandparents all owned Fish & Chip shops in Wigan, England. And having done training with the UK Fish Fryers Federation and spent time in a busy fish & chip shop in England Gary is excited to recreate British Fish & Chips in Calgary Canada.

Gary and Simone also have over 21 years experience in Fitness, Health and Nutrition. They are highly respected Personal Trainers, Pilates Teachers and Fitness Instructors. Simone is also a Yoga Teacher, the Group Fitness Director for Spa lady Calgary and regular on the Big Breakfast TV show.

With a passion for organic healthy food, their aim is to bring ‘Home-Style’ cooking to the community.
