New fish and chip shop opens in Fife town

Memo’s, on Blighty Avenue in Woodside, offers all the usual takeaway favourites, from fish and chips and pizza, to kebabs and burgers.

George and Ayben Sinclair opened to customers earlier this month – and have already been receiving positive reviews from the locals.

George said: “It had been closed for nearly a year due to bank closure.

“We were lucky enough to put in the highest bid to buy the property.

“It was previously a fish and chip shop, but we now also sell proper charcoal grilled kebabs, burgers pakora and more.

“After posting on facebook we have had hundreds of delighted locals responding, saying that they were so happy to have a takeaway back in Woodside again, as there is no other takeaway in the area.”

While Ayben used to work at her brother’s takeaway in St Andrews, the new shop means the couple can work closer to home. George, who also runs Woodside Locksmiths, helps out at night.

Opening a business during the coronavirus pandemic has also meant new jobs.

George added: “The good news is we have taken on several staff who were out of work.

“We employed some staff that used to work in the takeaway as we thought it would be good for the locals to see a familiar face.

“The shop was in a poor state and we had to spend a lot of money bringing it back to its formal glory.

“We are working very hard to keep up our high standards of hygiene and food quality.”

The takeaway delivers around Glenrothes and as far as Falkland.
