VE Day Event - 8th May 2025 Fish & Chips Arrangements

VE Day Event Arrangements for Fish & Chips - Evening of 8th May 2025

Fish and chips is often considered the British national dish but many people may not be aware that the humble meal was considered to be a vital ingredient of the war effort in both the First and Second World Wars.

Sir Winston Churchill called the simple dish our "good companions" and would not ration the dish during the Second World War for fear of sparking widespread discontent.

The British Government safeguarded the supply of fish and potatoes during both world wars to ensure the dish remained a boost to morale and these foods were among the few not to be subject to rationing during both world wars.

So ingrained are fish and chips in the national psyche that the dish was used as a code-name of sorts during the D-Day landings.
