Growing up in the slums of south-east London, Hilda could spot when a customer was in need and would sneak them an extra big portion of chips, on the house. As Hilda works in the chippy six days a week ࣵtting the potatoes and frying the fish, yesterday's rag becoming today's dinner plate ೨e hears all the gossip from the close-knit community. With a cast of colourful characters, Hilda's story is one of grit, romance, nostalgia and British endurance.
