Chippy that Paddy McGuinness called 'one of Bolton's finest eateries' celebrates 40 years

A chippy dubbed 'one of Bolton's finest eateries' by Paddy McGuinness has celebrated its 40th birthday.

Rigby's Chippy has been part of the fabric of Deane Church Lane since Madness topped the charts with House of Fun and it even made an appearance on an episode of Top Gear back in 2020. Last Monday (June 6) marked 40 years since it opened its doors for the first time.

Matriarch Margaret Rigby has run the family chip shop for the past four decades, firstly alongside husband Norman and now with the help of daughters Andrea and Diane. Margaret, 80, told the Manchester Evening News how Norman told her that he had taken the building over while he was off work.
