Pennfields Plaice on Lea Road in the Pennfields area of Wolverhampton is one of those shops which provides both in great abundance and has done so for decades.

It started out as a convenience store in the 1920s, but has, over time, been converted into a fish and chip shop, with the current owner Prince Hussain having been part of the furniture for 20 years.

Mr Hussain says he went to work there straight out of school and had been there for 13 years before being given the opportunity to buy the shop. He describes it as something he had been more than happy to do as he loves the area and putting his own twist on the food.

The shop is set on a corner near the Lea Road in Wolverhampton

He recalls: "I've always liked working with the public and the opportunity the owners gave me was amazing, plus I am a bit of a rattler and like to talk a lot and I'm born and bred in Pennfields and know the people.

"It's nice to have the chance to serve the people of Pennfields and have something that's in your local area and where you've worked with people for years.
