A new chip shop is opening on the approach at Manchester Piccadilly, bringing all our traditional favourites to the train station for the first time.
Serving up chunky chips late into the night, it will stay open until midnight throughout the week – likely answering the prayers of many a drunken commuter.
Imaginatively called ‘The Chip Shop’, it shouldn’t be hard to miss no matter how many bevs you’ve had – and will serve up all the classics including battered fish and sausages, alongside traditional accompaniments like salt and vinegar, mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Housed inside the former Northern Soul Grilled Cheese cafe, The Chip Shop’s owners say it will have “cool” stainless steel interiors and also feature an Amsterdam-inspired cold sauce rack with over 10 different options – perfect for those who like a sauce buffet with their chippy tea.
The team behind it said they saw a gap in the market and are aiming to fill it with what they see as a much-needed addition to the area’s food offering, which already includes the likes of Manchester burger bar Archie’s, Canadian favourite Moose Coffee, and quick-serve pasta shop Bravissimi!.

Speaking on the new opening, a spokesperson said: “We saw this as a great opportunity to have a traditional fish and chip shop on one of Manchester’ s busiest routes.
“It’s what the Manchester Piccadilly area is lacking at the moment, so we aim to fill that gap.”
Piccadilly Approach has had something of a makeover in recent years, with a flood of new trendy openings arriving outside the station in 2019.
The Chip Shop will be the latest addition to the area, joining other popular openings at Gateway House including Piccadilly Taps, Black Sheep Coffee and Chopstix.
National Lottery hunts for Tameside player who’s not claimed £1m winnings

The hunt is on to find a National Lottery player in Tameside who’s won £1m – and not claimed it.
The missing millionaire won the huge prize on a Lotto ticket bought on Wednesday 1 July, somewhere in the Borough of Tameside.
But with just two months to go until the prize expires, the player has still not come forward to claim their winnings.
The winning numbers in were 5, 8, 26, 33, 39, 42 and the Bonus Ball was 54.
Now, the National Lottery is renewing its search for the millionaire, calling for the mystery winner to cash in their prize before it expires at midnight on 28 December.
National Lottery Senior Winners’ Advisor Andy Carter has been out in Tameside ‘hunting’ for the missing millionaire, visiting everywhere from Portland Basin to Hartshead Pike.
Andy said: “I’ve searched high and low across Tameside for our missing millionaire, but I’ve had no luck.

“With just two months left to claim this £1 million prize, now is the time for anyone who bought a Lotto ticket in Tameside for the 1 July draw to have another look.
“The winning ticket could be tucked away somewhere completely ordinary, while its owner has absolutely no idea they are a millionaire.
“We’d love to find the person we’ve been looking for and turn this search into a celebration. So, if you bought a ticket in the area, dig it out, check those numbers and help us find Tameside’s missing millionaire. It could be you.”
With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket. Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].
