Binley Mega Chippy in Coventry becomes unlikely tourist destination after going global on TikTok

A chip shop in Coventry has becomes an unlikely tourist destination attracting visitors from across the world after becoming a global TikTok sensation. Binley Mega Chippy has been welcoming people from the UK and abroad since videos and memes featuring the business started going viral, with millions of views.

Customers have been queuing out of the doors for the last few days - leaving chip shop staff and its owner completely baffled. Some people have travelled from afar as Australia, Portugal and France, while UK visitors include those from Scotland, Essex and Portsmouth.

The reason for the West Midlands chippy becoming world-famous in a matter of days remains unclear, but seems to have been prompted by a catchy fan-made jingle. Young people can now be seen outside the shop singing the theme tune as they wait in line to sample their £4.99 Morbius Meal of fish, chips and mushy peas.
