For Royston Spencer, it was a big step to walk away from his family's iconic chip shop, Major's Chippy in Bilston, and start up his own fish and chips business, but it has been a move which has given him a new lease of life.
Mr Spencer has created Dr Vinegars, which has two shops in Oldbury and Wolverhampton and presents the classic tastes of his father Major's fish shop under a new banner, something he said may have been the result of a drunken night out.
He says: "I’d been at Major’s for 20 years and it’s nice to be able to see something outside some of those four walls and see some new people as well with new customers and anyone who knows my cooking will know the quality of it.
"I sold the shop last year and the guys coming in wanted to keep the same name, so I decided to give it a brand new name and look.
"The name of Dr Vinegars probably came from a drunken night down the pub and I was surprised that it hadn't been copyrighted as it was such a good name, but it hadn't and we did copyright it, so we decided to run with it."
