There's a pet grooming parlour in Brighton called Doggy Fashion, which is appropriate, but not a chippie.

Lot's of chippys around here have names based on the pun plaice - example Marias Plaice. Best chippy to eat though is Rainhill Fish Bar, cracking chippy food & kebabs, but no chinese, which suits me.

Frydays or the Crispy Cod.

My favourite is a burger van I see around Durham - Moe's Muncher

Eth3r's link is class. I love "William the Concreter".

There was an epsiode of the Simpsons with some good pun shop names, including "It's a Wonderful Knife" and "Much Ado About Muffins".

Back on food, I can't believe that no-one's mentioned the burger van that plys its trade around Dartmoor called "Hound of the Basket Meals".

The Batter of Bosworth
Market Bosworth, Leicestershire.

Market Bosworth's claim to fame is the Battle of Bosworth Field. The penultimate battle of the Wars of the Roses. On the 22 August 1485 the Houses of Lancaster and York clashed, the Plantagenet dynasty ended and the Tudors took over.
