Harry Ramsden's Fish and Chip restaurant : White Cross, Guiseley, West Yorkshire : Menu : nd [c.1975?]

            The famous Harry Ramsden's fish and chip shop in Guiseley, West Yorkshire, was opened by Harry Ramsden in December 1928. Originally consisting of a small wooden hut in 1931 the canny operator opened a more substantial restaurant, and that sat 250 people, became known as one of the largest and famous of all fish and chip shops.

In later years ownership was a complex affair as it shifted from one group to another and by the late 1980s the brand had become a chain of restaurants and franchises. In 2011 the original restaurant was closed as unprofitable by the then owners; subsequently it was reopened by new owners under another name.

The menu card is undated by is post-decimal (1971) and the prices make interesting reading as now, with inflation and rising prices, Fish and Chips are not 45p a portion! The cover also shows the amounts if ingredients used to satisfy the hunger and thirst of over 1,000,000 customers per annum. I've been contacted from an ex-employee who worked at the restaurant in the mid-70s and who reckons that this dates from about then; this red menu was for evenings and a blue menu card was used for lunchtime.
