Chuck’s Grub Fish & Chips
The story of Chuck’s Grub Fish & Chips is every budding entrepreneur’s dream. Owner Enrique Valles lived
in London for seven years and came home to Manila to head a seafood
distribution business. Together with his wife Isha Andaya-Valles, the
two had an idea to open a proper fish and chips shop in the Philippines.
Like most enterprising beginners, they rented a stall in Mercato
Centrale to test the waters. The night market favorite has expanded into
six branches around Metro Manila—three of which are full-scale shops
called “chippy shops,” where customers can sit down and dine in, instead
of the usual takeaway style typical of fish and chips joints in London.
