chip shop
British fry counter
A chip shop is a British establishment that sells fried food, primarily fish and chips—battered fish served with thick-cut fried potatoes.
These takeaway shops are a fixture of British high streets and seaside towns, offering affordable, casual fare often wrapped in paper.
The term is sometimes shortened to chippy in informal speech.
We stopped at the chip shop on the way home from the pub.
