Description
[edit]Binley Mega Chippy primarily sells fish and chips,[1] however their menu also includes doner kebabs and fried chicken.[2] A purported £4.99 "Morbius" meal deal gained traction online in 2022, however no such promotion existed.[3]
History
[edit]Binley Mega Chippy was founded in 2004[2] and was later bought in 2008 by Deano Tandon.[1] It was then sold to Kamal Ghandi in late 2021.[3] The store went viral in May of 2022, when a TikTok user created an AI-generated song which repeated the lyrics "Binley Mega Chippy" to a tune similar to that of the song For He's a Jolly Good Fellow.[3][4][5]
Reception
[edit]Writing for National World, Isabella Boneham described the fish and chips as surprisingly good, saying that "fish was nice and white, not dry, and the chips were fresh."[6] Nathan Bickerton of Vice praised the fish for being "greasy, very filling and about the size of [a] forearm and fist."[3]
