There's a new owner for Scarborough's Winking Willy's Fish and Chip Restaurant.

The Fusco family from Whitby has recently acquired Winking Willy’s Fish and Chip Restaurant & Takeaway on Scarborough’s South Bay from the MacGregor family.

The Fusco’s, who have been operating fish and chip shops in and around Whitby for 56 years and currently employ 50 local people, have taken on the existing workforce at the Scarborough restaurant.

Adrian Fusco said:

“We have always had a great fondness for Scarborough and Winking Willy’s is a long established and successful part of the South Bay, making the move a very exciting and natural step for our business.

We are really looking forward to working with the team and progressing the business together.”
