Gavin Kippins, also known as 'Gavlahh' from Halstead, Essex emigrated to Brisbane in 2012.
The happy-go-lucky chappy who cannot stand the smell of fish was nicknamed 'Fryer Gav' when he took a chance at opening a British fish and chip shop in Australia.
Little did he know that this venture would later lead him to create A Bit of Britain, a bustling little community for British expats down under in search of a slice of 'home'.
Gavin provides a snapshot of the cherished memories that British expats yearn for when they live abroad when he explains what his customers are crying out for.
A Bit of Britain, North Lakes is temporarily closed for repairs, but their Upper Coomera store is open for business as usual.
