Speaking to the BBC about the fish and chips donation, owner of the pub, Stephen Davidson, said, "He was prepared to fund, once a week, a takeaway of for every member of the village.

"He said he’d like to do it for a minimum of 12 weeks. Depending how things go, he may up it to two a week. He may carry it on longer than that depending on the need and the take up on it, and he doesn’t want to be the focus of attention for this.

"He thinks people like him who are fortunate to be in their situation should do something for their communities if at all possible."
