Corny names for chip shops

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.

Slightly OT but there is a tanning salon in Coatbridge I think? Called…

Tanzarote.

Brilliant!

Frydays or the Crispy Cod.

We had a Fanny Haddocks!!!

Now called Milehouse fish bar 🙁

lorax, you beat me to it!!

My mum and dad used to own This Is The Plaice in Radcliffe, Manchester.

My local chippy, in the yachties’ playground of Cowes, is called Chip Ahoy!

The sandwich shop-I Pitta The Fool.
The curry house-Balti Towers.
Or at the tanning plac round the corner they have an advert for weight loss pills called “flabuloss”.

My Local chinese in Worcester is Called “The Wok N Roll” which I reckon is an awesome name.

Why is that funny? Your Jason does burgers, not doners like the one in Leeds I mentioned about 50 posts ago.

Northern Gas Heating. Not that funny until you visit see their website name http://www.northerngasheating.com

just remembered another thing about Mike Roe Chips. He had signs saying
“Is he the fish friar?” and “No, he’s the chip monk”

Mostly off topic but inspired none the less[/url]
I like ‘The Merchant of Tennis’

Friar Tucks in York.

Also giggle every time I pass Tyranosaurus Pets pet shop on Kirkstall Rd in Leeds.

The Cod Piece in Leigh, Lancs.

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.
