Mr Khaira speaks about working in business all of his life and how much he enjoys meeting “different people every day, from different backgrounds”.

“I’ve done it since I was a young kid so it’s all I really know,” he says.

He adds that many of his customers are elderly and do not have connections over the festive period.

“Christmas for majority of us is probably going to be a joyful and busy day but for some people it’s probably going to be a quiet day,” he says.

After posting about the plans to donate on social media he received a lot of publicity and Mr Khaira is prepared to “probably do more than” 100 meals.

He says the shop has already organised a toy and present drop off to Southampton hospitals this December, with many of the donations coming from customers.

He says: “We’re only where we are as a busy shop because of our community and our lovely customers that come in and sometimes you’ve got to give back and I’m happy to do that.”
