Shane, who is known as The Codfather, said: “As soon as you’re old enough you’re in the chippy.”
He started in one aged 14 and in 1988 he opened J-Henry’s Fish & Chips, in Hedge End, Hants.
He named it after son John-Henry, now 41 and set to take over with brother Sonny, 29.
Daughters Ellie, 38, and Charlotte, 25, are also on board as well as his grandchildren, who start at 11 to earn pocket money.

"Now and again we have an argument but it's usually in jest and most of the time it's all good", he said.
"We all have a good working relationship.
