A Liverpool chippy is planning to stay open on Christmas day for a special reason. Portland’s Fish and Chips, on Sefton<\/a> Street, in Brunswick is set to be open on Christmas day for a second year running. Owner Mubinul Hoque and his dedicated team will be offering a free, hearty Christmas Day meal to those who need it most.<\/p>\n Like last December 25, Portlands will support NHS staff, carers, emergency and key workers, older people, vulnerable members of the community, and anyone who may be spending Christmas <\/a>alone. The shop plans to be open from 11am until 5pm.<\/p>\n The 36-year-old from Wavertree<\/a> told the ECHO<\/a>: “We give back and we do a lot of charities. It’s in our belief, in our religion. Christmas Day was one of those things where we don’t celebrate ourselves.<\/p>\n “So we would have been just shut. So it was like, why don’t we give back to the community?<\/p>\n “Because obviously as an independent business and a small business, we rely on the community to help us to succeed. And you have to like vice versa, give back to them as well.<\/p>\n “We just thought it would be amazing and the response that we got from like last year – it was mad. I was thinking ‘oh my God’. I couldn’t actually believe it.<\/p>\n “It was more emotional because I was thinking it’s such a special day. Everyone wishes they had good family and friends but you don’t realise how many people are by themselves and they just need that little talk.<\/p>\n “Just that little five or ten minutes, it makes their day up and it was an eye-opener. We will definitely do it this year bigger and better.”<\/p>\n Since taking ownership in February 2023, Mubinul has given back to his local community by their continued charitable donations to causes including the sponsorship of Nicosia Juniors U7 football team.<\/p>\n Visitors can expect chippy favourites including chunky cod fish fingers, fish and chip barms, and free tea and coffee, all offered completely free of charge from Portlands.<\/p>\n Mubinul added: “Honestly we’re super excited. I feel like it’s gonna be like crazy one this year but we’re ready for it.”<\/p>\n![\"Portlands](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766518104_396_0_Mubinul-Hoque-from-Portlands-Fish-ChipsSefton-StreetLiverpoolare-in-the-National-Fish-Chip-Aw.jpg\")
