chip shops

British takeaway spots

Chip shops are British establishments selling fish and chips and related fried foods for takeaway.

The term is quintessentially British—Americans would say "fish and chip shop" or not know the concept at all.

There's a decent chip shop on the corner.

Also called chippies.
