Papas History
Papa’s was established in 1966 by Photio’s Papas, who’s vision, determination, hard work and sincerity created a name in quality and customer service. Not to mention an early pioneer of supporting sustainable fish resources on the marketplace.
It was the embodiment of every Papa’s branch.

Weston Super Mare’s Hidden Gem
Weston-super-Mare is a well known tourist location. With the recognition we’ve had and the numerous honours we have received, we would like to think of ourselves as being part of the parcel of Weston.
When people come to Weston-super-Mare, they enjoy the fresh sea air and finish off with a lovely Papa’s Fish & Chips.
