Lime Coast Catering, which runs a mobile fish and chip van that visits rural areas with no chip shop and provides catering for events, is owned and run by Mike and Rachel Ralph.

On the evening of 15 November, the van caught fire while parked in the driveway of their home in Uplands Road. Mike was able to remove the gas bottles and move the van further from the house, preventing much greater damage. However, the van was gutted and the business has had to close for the foreseeable future.

Regular customers are keen for the pair to restart their rounds, and many have donated to a fundraising campaign. More than £1,000 has been raised to help get them back on their feet.
