Inside the 'world's first' fish and chips hotel in Blackpool where free chippy tea is served upon arrival

There’s a number of things that most people would quickly be able to associate with Blackpool: the Tower, the beach and, of course, fish and chips are just three of them.

So, it’s only natural that Blackpool would be the designated location for the world’s first fish and chips hotel. Gala Bingo has unveiled its Jolly Good Fish & Chip Hotel prototype which will be open this weekend for visitors to have a cheeky snoop around.

Inspired by the iconic bingo call 33, guests will be able to enjoy free portions of fish, chips and peas, alongside free games of bingo. Meanwhile, the hotel room is decorated in a ‘five in a row’ theme featuring bright colours.

The catch is that it’ll only be available as a pop-up this weekend. Visitors can head over for a free chippy tea, a game of bingo and explore the fun-themed hotel room prototype, but staying over sadly won’t be an option. At least, not yet.

The hotel pop-up will be available to visit from 12pm-8pm on Saturday, July 8th, and Sunday, July 19th.

Speaking about the pop-up, a Gala Bingo spokesperson said: “Gala Bingo is calling all British seaside goers to visit the world’s first ‘Fish & Chip Hotel’, popping up in the vibrant coastal town of Blackpool on the 8th and 9th July for one weekend only.

“The Jolly Good Fish & Chip Hotel prototype will be welcoming visitors to enjoy a portion of fish, chips and peas alongside games of bingo, all for free.”

They added: “The Jolly Good Fish & Chip Hotel room will also be open for visitors to have a snoop around. The Gala Bingo concierge will be there to meet and greet guests and welcome them into the ‘five in a row’ themed suite, where they can test out the hotel bed, and have a cheeky selfie with friends, and experience what it would be like to spend a night in the world’s first Fish & Chip Hotel room. There has never been a more comfortable way to enjoy your fish & chips.”

The hotel will be located on 131 Bond Street (FY4 1HG) by Blackpool Promenade. It will be open on a walk-in basis for people aged 18 and over only.
