Portlands Fish & Chips, a proud recipient of the prestigious Good Food Award for 2024/25, is giving back to the Liverpool community this Christmas Day.

Owner Mubinul Hoque and his dedicated team at Portlands will open their doors from 10am to 2pm on December 25th to provide a free, hearty lunch to those who need it most.

Portlands are keen to support NHS staff, key workers, police officers, older individuals, vulnerable members of the community, and anyone who is unable to spend the day with their families and loved ones.

On offer will be comforting favourites like chunky cod fish fingers and fish and chip barms, along with free tea and coffee — all provided to customers completely free of charge.

Since taking ownership in February 2023, Mubinul Hoque has transformed Portlands. He has been introducing a new, exciting menu, and implementing sustainable practices to ensure that Portlands remains a cornerstone of quality and responsibility in the local food scene.

"we know families are struggling, and many people find themselves alone on Christmas. We want to create a positive impact and ensure everyone who walks through our doors feels cared for." - Mubinul Hoque, Owner of Portlands Fish & Chips.

Giving back to the community is a fundamental belief for Mubinul Hoque, Owner of Portlands Fish & Chips, he said: “This Christmas, we want to give back to our customers and our neighbourhood. As Muslims, we don’t celebrate Christmas, but we see it as a perfect opportunity to come together with the community and ensure no one feels left behind.”

He added: “Whether Christmas is meaningful to you or just another day, everyone is welcome here at Portlands. Our local community is what makes us who we are — they’ve supported us through our journey, and now it’s our turn to support them. Charity is a fundamental value in our faith, and if this small gesture can brighten someone’s day or ease their loneliness, it’s more than worth it.”

Mubinul, said: “Winning the Good Food Award was a tremendous honour and a reflection of our dedication to bringing the best to Liverpool. But we know families are struggling, and many people find themselves alone on Christmas. We want to create a positive impact and ensure everyone who walks through our doors feels cared for."
