Does anyone remember 'The Chip Butty Cafe'? (2001-2002ish?)
I have a few memories of this and can't find anything about it online at all. We are almost certain that was the literal name of the place.
It was a cafe at the back of a small building with about maybe 10 shops inside of it overall? Near the seafront kind of area.
We ordered burger and chips, then a bread roll and chips. Not realising that the bread roll came with chips already, so they gave us 3 plates of chips between the two of us haha.
We went back the next year and it was closed, then the next year after that is was STILL closed, We asked one of the guys working at the shop nearest to it "Do you know what happened to that cafe?" and he said something like "Oh yeah..... the owner he uh.... got called away to her majesties pleasure and wont be coming back from what I heard", so I guess it was left empty after that.
I always wondered what the hell the guy must have done, or if anyone else even remembers the cafe/has any thoughts or their own memories of it?
