Bolton comedian Peter Kay has left staff at a chip shop in Lancashire feeling all giddy after he popped in for tea unannounced.
The comic, currently in the middle of a stand-up tour of the UK, turned up for a chippy at Atkinson’s Fish and Chips in Morecambe on Wednesday evening for a mid-week treat.
Dressed casually, he posed for a picture with one of the team before digging into his order of traditional fish and chips which the team then excitedly shared on its social media pages.
Revealing that the star has now visited the cafe on Albert Road not once but twice, staff excitedly wrote: “We’ve had a very special and famous visitor come down to visit us recently.. PETER KAY
“This is his SECOND time visiting us in our cafe on Albert Road!!
“We might not have provided garlic bread, but he certainly loved his fish & chips
“I’m sure we will see him again soon!”
On fan commented underneath: “He knows where good fish and chips are”
Another person joked: “A worldwide hero there getting a picture with Peter Kay. Crazy times”
The fish and chip shop in Morecambe has won awards for its chippy teas and has regularly been named amongst the best in the UK.
