The owners of a Napier fish and chip shop voted the best in New Zealand will hang up their aprons after 15 years in charge of Pirimai Chippy.
Pirimai Chippy will change ownership next Monday.
The store won an NZME readers’ poll earlier this year for New Zealand’s best fish and chip shop and is among the most popular takeaway stores in Hawke’s Bay.
Current owners Ian and Prue Hunter said they had loved their 15 years in charge of the shop but were ready for a long break and possible retirement.
“We have been so passionate about this place that it has been seven days a week really for 15 and a half years,” Prue said, of their decision to sell.
