‘Britain’s most loyal buyer’ has eaten the identical meal each Thursday for 37 years

A 92-year-old widow is “Britain’s most loyal customer” as she has been eating fish and chips at the same restaurant every week for 37 years.

Molly Robinson absolutely “adores” Langley Castle hotel and restaurant in Northumberland. She used to stay there with her late-husband Jock and since his passing, has kept up traditions.

Once a week, on a Thursday, Molly, who is originally from Cumbria, gets a taxi to arrive at precisely 12pm. When it comes to the menu, she isn’t very adventurous, in fact, her order never changes — the soup of the day for a starter and for a main, fish and chips, washed down with two glasses of Champaign. She opts for ketchup instead of tartar sauce with the fish and chips. She also orders another soup to take home for her supper. Molly has been doing this, every — single — Thursday, since Margarette Thatcher was Prime Minister (1987).

That is a lot of portions of fish and chips. 1,924 to be precise — and a lot of soup and bubbly to match.

Waitress Eilidh Wise, described Mrs Robinson as a “VIP”.

“We’re not supposed to have favourites but she’s certainly my favourite,” she said.

Manager Aiden McGuinness said Mrs Robinson had seen five different managers in her time.

“She has made friends with countless visitors over the years and had goodness knows how many chinwags,” he said.

Mrs Robinson said she “adores” the castle and the staff.

Often, Molly can’t manage the whole fish and chips and her leftovers get fed to the birds.

“They’re more or less queuing up for it,” she said.
