Being as I don't get out much at the moment, I'm having to rely on one of my informants for the fact that the excellent Eddie Gilbert, who, bizarrely, is actually called Johnny (and not to be confused with Eddie the Beer, who really is called Eddie) has now opened a restaurant and fish 'n' chip takeaway at his stylish King Street premises here in the Ms' P. Yet more proof that the town is on the up! Yay! I'll have to borrow Betty my neighbour's Davros undercarriage later and go check it out.I'm hoping his nosh will be as good as, if not better than, the superb Newington Fish Bar as it'll only mean a toddle for my Friday supper, rather than a trip out in the jalopy. Pete's Fish Factory next to the Belgian Bar is pretty good too, although I'm not a fan of the traditional, surly British service they dish up with their traditional, yummy British fish 'n' chips.
Of course, the one thing a chippie usually needs is a punny name. We have the Codfather here in Ramsgate, which is a fair effort. But my favourite has to be the one I clocked a few years ago next to Sizewell nuclear power station in Suffolk - Fission Chips! Needless to say, their mushy peas glowed in the dark.

Trouble with Pete's surly fish bar is you can't park near the plaice (geddit) either - That or facing punitive parking charges aloong the front.
Is Eddie Gilbert a sole trader (geddit?!!?!)?
Of course it may help if the famed 'Peter' joined the chamber of trade
Of course it may help if the famed 'Peter' joined the chamber of trade, or does he have 'chip' on his shoulder?

sorry to carp on but It was not that funny the first time 7.02
This all seems be a load of pollock. (Or should that be 'colin' after Sainsburys attemp to give it a posh sounding name.)
Cheaper than cod but just as white and flakey.
May the piece of cod be with you. Thus saithe the lord.
in pike of the recession its good to see a new business open
he opened the fish bar just for the halibut
One day while driving home from his fishing trip in the pouring rain, a man got a flat tire outside a monastery.
A monk came out and invited him inside to have dinner and spend the night. The motorist accepted. That night he had a wonderful dinner of fish and chips. He decided to compliment the chef.
Entering the kitchen, he asked the cook, "Are you the fish friar?" "No," the man replied, "I'm the chip monk."
Were they prawn again Christians by any chance?
Oh dear. I just had to delete a comment there. I do hope the fat, foulmouthed one from Margate hasn't been stalking these pages again!
Would that have been 'Chippy Tone'? Geddit!!?!!?
I'd get me skates on, already been haddock an eggsellent thyme and they don't shrimp on the portion size
A Fact: Eddie Gilbert was a glam all in wrestler from the dear old USof A
Yes - I think I was being a bit dim there, 1:53am. 'Oh f*ck off' was meant to be, er, 'chippy'!
That's what happens when, like me, you have a pickled walnut for a brain.
Had fish and chips from here the other week (and my better half had pie and chips) and both were lush! Absolutely gorgeous chips! Cannot wait to try the proper restaurant upstairs...we were allowed a sneak preview and it looked tres nice!
