Pier Point Marks the 80th Anniversary of VE Day – Celebrate with Britain’s Favourite Dish!

On Thursday 8th May 2025, we join the nation in commemorating the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) – a moment in history when people across Britain poured into the streets to celebrate the end of fighting in Europe during the Second World War.

On this day in 1945, Prime Minister Winston Churchill made the historic announcement that the war in Europe had ended. Streets were filled with joy, flags waved high, and communities came together to mark a huge step towards peace and the end of a global conflict.

Here at Pier Point Bar, Restaurant & Takeaway, we’re proud to honour this important occasion with a nod to a beloved British tradition – fish and chips. Often referred to as the nation’s favourite dish, our award-winning fish and chips are a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike, and we’re delighted to be part of the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF) VE Day Fish and Chip Party.

A Wartime Staple

Did you know that fish and chips played a vital role during the war? As one of the few foods not subject to rationing, it provided comfort and nourishment to millions. British soldiers even recalled the scent of fish and chips as a reminder of home. It was a dish that lifted spirits and brought people together – something we continue to believe in today.

To mark this historic milestone, we’re offering 10% off all takeaway orders of £50 or more in a single transaction on Thursday 8th May only. It’s our small way of saying thank you and encouraging everyone to come together and share in this national moment of reflection and pride.
