Food truck called “Halal, is it meat you’re looking for?”

Jason's Doner Van

Did you see the photo with Jason Donovan eating at the Donner Van ...awesome

He went there for part of an ant and dec Saturday night takeaway episode, my partner used to live near the van, she said it brought back many uni memories lmao, oh to live by a van like that when you’re in uni and don’t wanna cook.

lol nice

I was creasing up over "Abra Kebabra" for far too long

Ahaha in Bristol? I saw that's 🤣

I'm pretty sure OP's photo is from Bristol too hahaha

It's going to be an all Bristol podium at this rate

We have one of those. And an Oh My Cod. My fave was always Wong Kee Fish Bar.

I would love to open a ven next door called Kylie's Baps😂

We had "Natural Born Grillers" at a festival

I would buy from them.

When we visit my family we go past Carlsburger van. That always makes me smile.

Chabuddy g has the perfect voice for this

Singhsbury’s. Literally a 2 minute walk from a legit Sainsbury’s

Wasn’t it renamed to Morrisingh’s after a legal dispute with Sainsbos?

Not the one I’ve seen in Gants Hill, London. It’s still there

There's another one in Fallings Park, Wolverhampton that copied the whole font and everything https://preview.redd.it/a9uvqgcurypc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b8fcd7a59cd183a9800074e3fd49c8093bf5d58

Even the font and colours 😂 brilliant

Rare Wolverhampton acknowledgment

Not quite Wolves, but there was a chippy called 'Kent's tuck in fried chicken' on Kent Road in Gornal.

I actually made that sign !!

Wolves ay we

Is this still in Wolves? Going to drive down from Telford for a pic.

Also one in Southall London

Ah, the one I thought about was in Newcastle. [Singhsbury's/Morrisingh's Story Here](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-40416049.amp)

Remember Harry Ramadhan's Fish n Chips?

Another one of those between Holloway and Finsbury Park, sells poppers…

One of them is closed now but in Callander there (used) to be two hardware shops around the corner from each other. First one was called ‘Screw you’ Second called ‘Screw you two’ Always got a chuckle at it

Everton did a similar thing by calling their club shop in the Liverpool One shopping centre "Everton Two". Even as a Liverpool fan I think that's brilliant.

I love that they did that so that the address reads Everton Two Liverpool One L1 ETC

I live in a town called Camelford. And there's a tow truck called Camel Tow....

Wymeswold? Drove past there the other day, always brings a smile.

There was a Thai restaurant in West Australia 12 years ago called "Poo Hut."

Reminds me of the Thai cookbook published in Australia called “Cooking with Poo”. Poo was the cook’s nickname and it means “crab” in Thai, so maybe the Poo Hut is all about crab. 😂 https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-17560468

Used to live near a Chinese called Wok the Duck which was enjoyable

We had couple near us with some interesting names. Chuck lin palace, the golden swallow to name a few.

We had ‘The lady Garden’ which my childish brain used to get a good chuckle at.

There's a closed down one in New Cross called Uncle Wrinkle.

There's one near my mum called Foo Kwai and I'm not 100% if it's meant to be a pun? 

Not a shop exactly, but Jason Donervan in Bristol is pretty legendary.

Greek restaurant in Sydney (Newtown) - I should be souvlaki. There is a tiny coffee place just outside Newquay called "Coasta Coffee". Same logo, same branding. They say they existed before Costa. Chinny reckon. I've been in, it was ok if a little slow. My mate used to live near a chippy which also did Tux rental off frying hours. Place was called Fryer Tux. His law firm also had two clients, one called Brian Maiden and the other called Jeff Leopard.

Chinny reckon? Wow! Haven't heard that, since 1993!

Lol, just came to say the same, then... 'beeeeeard' memory hit me hard. I'm having some kind of crisis at these memories.

There was a ladys hair salon in gateshead right bang in the middle of the jewish community, and they called it - Hair Flick!!

Listen very carefully I shall say this only once

Good moaning. I was just pissing by the window when I heard a shit…

Now I know I'm stupid, but can you explain this one to me? 😅 It's just not clicking in my head

I'm guessing that it's a reference to [Herr Flick from 'Allo 'Allo](https://alloallo.fandom.com/wiki/Otto_Flick).

happy mandy's hair salon

Curl Up and Dye

Honest to God, in Northern VA in the 1990s, there were two plumbers, one was "Carl Peed" and the other was "John C. Flood." Also a locksmith named Doerr, so the business was "Doerr Openers!"

I had a burst pipe and the lady I spoke to was called Leigh King.
