Brian the fishmonger

We do have a fresh fish van at the Makers' Monthly Market, he doesn't arrive until 6 because of other commitments. He is looking into coming to Charlbury but maybe not Tuesday.

There was man't'van with fish outside the Market last night and he sounded that there was a possibility of taking over the round, so lets hope.

That's really sad and a shock. Condolences to his family. How many years had Brian been coming to Charlbury? Seems like many years. Still have some sole I bought from him a couple of weeks ago that he suggested a recipe for :(

I am sorry to hear this news. Brian was a lovely man and he will be missed.

Very sad indeed. There is a link to his obituary in the original news item www.charlbury.info/news/2499 and his daughter reported that someone will probably take over his route in due course, so, in the interim, if anyone spots a new fish van outside the Rosie, pop a notice up on the forum or news sections.

I'm very sad to say that Brian the fishmonger has died suddenly of a heart attack.
He used to come from Grimsby every Tuesday as part of his round in the Cotswolds. He sold excellent fish from his van which he parked in Market Street. You couldn't think of a nicer or more courteous man. He'll be much missed
