Round our way we have:

The Codfather

What platitudinous names have your local purveyors of things fried?

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

There is a hairdressers' in Yeadon (near the airport) called Hairport.

And a guitar shop in Leeds (which is on the River Aire) called Aire Guitars. That one once won a Yellow Pages 'Best business name' competition.

That joke is ancient mate. It was featured in the original Blues Brothers movie for a start.

Ok so it's a bit off topic but there's a company in central Scotland that does open air BBQ's, whole hogs etc,,

Their tag line is "the spit roast specialists". Now that's quite a mission statement!

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.
