Dad a 'little disappointed' after taking his four children on 250-mile round trip to famous chippy and finding it shut

A dad drove his four children on a 250 mile round-trip to enjoy lunch at the world famous Binley Mega Chippy only to find it closed. Simon Harris took his four children, seven-year-old Luke, five-year-old Emma, four-year-old James and one-year-old Thomas, on a trip to visit the takeaway made famous on TikTok.

The family drove 125 miles from their home in Hockley, Essex, to the shop in Binley, Coventry, on Sunday, June 12. But after a five-and-a-half-hour journey, they were left gutted to find the shutters down on the famous red-and-yellow eaterie.

Simon, 38, said: “The kids were more excited than I was to go to the chippy. Luke and Emma love watching TikTok videos.
