The owners of a Norfolk fish and chip shop are making sure it is the season of goodwill by giving away free meals to those in need on Christmas Day.
Customers will be able to get any meal from the menu at Baileys Fish and Chips in Shelfanger Road, Diss, for free on Wednesday, December 25 from 3pm to 8pm.
Cengiz Bolat and business partner Cemal Kayguszuz took over the shop in January 2016 and have been giving away food every Christmas since as they don't want anyone to eat alone or to go hungry.
Mr Bolat said: "We want to give the message of the importance of helping others at Christmas and we open the shop to everyone.
"We have homeless people that come in and families too and we also deliver to older ladies and gentleman living nearby.
"We wanted to give something back to our customers and they can pick anything they want off the menu."
Mr Bolat is originally from Turkey and moved to Ipswich 15 years ago and has called Norfolk home for the last four-and-a-half years.
The pair's act of kindness also won Baileys Fish and Chips the special recognition prize at the Stars of Norfolk and Waveney Awards in 2017.

In previous years, members of the community have also donated items such as chocolate and cakes for those in need to take home with them when they visit the shop on Christmas Day.
Earlier this year, Baileys Fish and Chips also offered free meals on October 31 to customers in Halloween costumes.
