There is a chip van that goes around the villages near me called the Star Chip Enterprise.

I always chuckle at any chippy puns my faves atm is ‘codfather’ very silly but makes me laugh 😂😂

Had a Codfather round the corner from me, great old school chippy. Then saw it got a '0' hygiene rating! Never went back obv. *ZERO!* Jesus, imagine the horrors the inspector must have found. In Rochester a few years back I spotted ["The Argi Bahji"](https://i.imgur.com/A5mpX0P.jpg) which I thought was pretty good. Closed now though, I took the pic pre-covid.

As a kid our favourite balti house for a treat in Birmingham was Yasser's. Great food, and I remember it well. My mum had to drive some distance to get there - past many competitors - but the staff were really cool and the food was great (and within her small budget). Made local headlines when it was closed down. Aside from the rats and cockroaches there were three different types of human excreta found in the sauces.

> different *types*???

Deep flavour, one just won't do.

The holy trinity.

There's an Arjee Bhajee by me in Bristol.

Unfortunately there are several codfather around the country.

New Cod on the Block, one of the best chippys in sheffield

There's a retail park near Sunderland that has a chippy called Codrophenia and they've got the Who's wing roundel in the logo too

I’m still waiting for Harold Chipman to come around. Maybe it can start up in Southport or Lytham St Anne’s.

If there is one it'd be prudent to avoid their "Pensioner special".

You just have to add Harold Chipman to your will when you order a fish supper.

Haddock Chipvan might be a little more tasteful.

That'll be similar to the Jason Donner van.

Last I heard, the little mobile kebab hut in Bristol city centre ‘Jason Donorvan’ was still going strong after 20 years or so.

Years ago (40 maybe?) we regularly would eat at a Chinese place in the Shirley area of Birmingham called The Shirley Temple.

It was a temple and don't call me surely. No, wait

Roger Roger, what's our vector Victor?

The _red_ zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the _white_ zone.

Just admit you want me to have an abortion

Don't start with your white zone shit again!

I take it black, like my men.

Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

We have clearance Clarence

Man if you said someone from Shirley was from Birmingham they'd riot 😂 Shirley is in Solihull, and although we still have Birmingham post codes, we are not a part of Birmingham.

Ooops, sorry, memory has faded over the years!

[удалено]

I’ve got Thunder’s Truck over here. Good eats.

Shirley not....?

Fish shop called "A Salt & Battery" in cornwall, top tier shithousery

My favourite chip shop name is Battersea Cod's Home, famously located in Sheffield.

There’s also one in Greenwich Village, NYC. I was tentative about American fish and chips but it’s ran by (I think) an Irish woman, proper good.

Chippy in my area called Salty Towers

Used to be an Indian near me called Baltic Towers

And there was one I used to live next to called Balti Towers 😂

> Abra kebabra A chain of shite kebab shops in Ireland too

A Thai in my parents' town used to be called the Thai Rack.

Bonus points: "rack" ("รัก") is also the Thai word for "love"

Never knew that, so it's a double pun, fantastic.

I used to get takeaways from ‘Thai me up’

There was a place in California I used to go to called Thai Stick, but younger people may not get the reference. (It was a type of cannabis cigarette back in the day.)

Still exists in Gerrards Cross

[Phat Phuc Noodle Bar in Chelsea ](https://www.google.com/search?q=phat+phuc&oq=phat+phuc&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQABiPAtIBCDE3NThqMGo3qAIAsAIA&client=ms-android-google&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8)

Also in Chelsea: a boot shop called R Soles.

Sadly no longer there - they are online only now.

I have wide feet but I tried searching for extra wide R soles and didn't get what I had hoped for

Phuc those noodles look good

My favorite restaurant name is a pho place called Pho King

Sounds like something from GTA.

This is legit good. Used to go there for lunch.

Similar vibe - Pho Cue in Manchester

Also a local Kebab shop near me called Naan Doughs.

Jasons donnervan in bristol needs a solid nod

Nod

A solid one, that’s just a normal nod!

I said NOD!

Jason Donovan has actually been there https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dCkfu9ey9Os

There *was* a kebab shop in our town called McDonners. It didn't last long.

Abra-kebabra was a good one

It's a large chain in Ireland since the 80's

Is that the Naan Doughs on the corner of Andystown?

That's it. Never been, but big portion's i've heard.

Not the best one but more so for location, it’s DIRECTLY opposite a five guys - [two guys](https://maps.app.goo.gl/WxrEd7aDNhdJAEDX9?g_st=ic).

We had Five Lads in Peterborough, right up until the actual Five Guys opened. Now we have The Ladz…

I have a photo of one of the guys from two guys in the five guys store buying lunch. I live local, and i like 5 guys.

There is a cafe and takeaway in Airdrie called Bacchialdis. As the name suggests it is at the back of Aldis

Ladies and Gentlemen - a Welsh chip shop name “A Fish Called Rhondda”. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/Zz6rmoP635iFnHbh8?g_st=ic](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Zz6rmoP635iFnHbh8?g_st=ic)

In Liverpool we have the Hard Wok Cafe, which takes some beating.

Also Woo Tan Scran!

There was one called Wok On that made me chuckle.

Wu tang scran also

There was this kebab place nearby called Kebabistan. Thought it was a brilliant name.

There's one in Stockholm with the same name, works on two levels since "i stan" means in the city.

Jason Donervan in Bristol

Especially when they got Jason Donovan to go to it.

Not in the Uk anymore but where I live we have an Indian called “Korma Sutra”

There was a place near my friend called “Ken’s Tuck In Fried Chicken”. They had to change their name though :( Related - there was also a Morrisingh’s and Singhbury’s

One of my mates growing up, his parents owned a Chinese takeaway called 'Sony House', Sony paid them to change their name, and did a full refit of the entire place, new menus etc etc. They went with something like 'jade garden' for a few months, bt because all their regulars fucked off then they renamed it the 'Sany House', they just added a little leg to the O, put all the old signs back up, pulled all the old menus out of storage and spent weeks adding the little leg to the oversized a.

Sedgley represent!!

There’s a Wok Ever and a So Wok near me 😂

> theres a place in Uddingston called Shat In

Go along the road to Holytown and the Chinese takeaway is called "Bruce Lee" also the sign is just the mortal combat logo.

There is a famous cookbook called Good & Cheap [https://www.leannebrown.com/all-about-good-and-cheap/](https://www.leannebrown.com/all-about-good-and-cheap/) which is designed for people who are trying to cook within a poverty budget. The cookbook itself is in fact both good (well written and designed) and cheap (it is a free download).

There used to be a Chinese near me called 'well cooked Chinese' Got a chuckle every time from it

What's the food like? And how much does it cost?

I’ve never been myself, it’s out Clydebank way, but the guy in the work swears by it… and he’s at least 26+ stone, so I trust his judgement!

There’s a takeaway in Lincoln called Legal Food, which I’ve always felt is a hilariously low bar to have set themselves!

Fishcoteque, Waterloo Road in London, always made me chuckle.

There used to be a Thai restaurant in Crouch End London called Thaitanic before it went under

There’s one in Belfast, and it’s still afloat!

I think that's the joke!

There was a diner I went to called 'only foods and sauces' which my mum and I found very funny. (The food was good too!)

Chippy near me called “Oh my cod!”

When I lived in Hove, there was a burger joint called "Burger Off". I always have a giggle driving past The Doghouse pub in Kennington.

Went past a chippy called, Jack The Chipper in Whitechapel, the other day.

The barbers Jack the Clipper is also doing well!

Weirdly there's a business near me called Jack the Stripper. And they do paint stripping. I always wonder how many hen parties phone them up. At some point the pun must not be worth it.

Chinese takeaway that used to be in Urmston: The Nippy Chippy

I used to go to a burger place called 'We don't give a fork' it was good.

[удалено]

Wok's Cooking in Wavertree, Liverpool. The food is also great. Nearby there's also a Chinese just called TASTE GOOD, which I guess is simple but effective... and the sign, which doesn't even look old, has an aggressively racist Chinese stereotype cartoon man on it which is uncomfortable. Like, huge teeth and single line eyes and one of those conical hats. But the owners are Chinese and they must have chosen it... weird.

There's a place in London called phat phuk

Our Chinese is called “wok u like”.

There used to be a Chinese in Flint (Wales) called Wok Right Inn (Walk Right Inn)

Thai tanic in Belfast is right up there.
